RIP Canadian Radio Legend Tom Rivers

Broadcast Dialogue's Howard Christensen was there with a video camera as the applause of a large crowd on the dock near Rice Lake in Ontario, sounded and ashes of the late Tom Rivers’ were spread from the air over the waters at his cottage as two planes went by in formation.

Jack FM Toronto Newsman Larry Silver said,“Suddenly, there was a blossoming white cloud that burst beside one of the aircraft. An ethereal swirl of white that stood out against the bright blue sky. It hovered in silence as the planes flew on by, then slowly dissipated in the bright sunshine as a round of applause spontaneously erupted from the dock.”
