Thanks for the kinds words about my father. I really do appreciate it. Since my father passed I have been trying to locate photos of him playing. Would anyone have any such photos of him pitching? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My condolences. I am sorry that I don't have any photos to share but growing up as a Jays can in Toronto the first few years of the teams existence meant a lot to me (still live the team, even though they are under performing). I remember watching your Dad and collected newspaper clippings of him and all the Jays of that era (scrapbooks are long gone unfort)

You may have already seen them, but there are a few press photos of your father on ebay:

Condolences on your loss. I hope you find your photos.

On a side note, did your dad keep any of his jerseys? Those were some awesome styles and I'd love to see photos of them if you wanted to share.

Thank you...I actually have not seen any of his game used Blue Jays jerseys...I haven't completely gone through everything of his. I do have his away pants and a reproduction jersey of when the Blue Jays invited him to play in an old timers game back in '86 I do have his hats he wore while with the Jays I have his cleats and his Blue Jays jacket. 65106I'm sure somewhere he has them and once I locate them i will add them on here...
