2779...Dick Maloney Laid To Rest

If you live outside of Ottawa you have most likely never heard of Dick Maloney.

If you were born after 1960, meme chose.

He was a lounge singer, a disc jockey and, in the 1960's one of the hosts of a local dance show on CJOH called Saturday Date.

He was part of the fabric of this city for a generation and his funeral was today at St. Pat's in downtown Ottawa.

It is said that when you die your life will flash in front of your eyes; the joke, offered with love and kindness, about Mr. Maloney was that when he died Frank Sinatra's life would flash in front of his.

He really will be missed.
