Just got word from former CKNW/CFMI Chief Engineer Dave Glassteter that longtime CKNW/CFMI Engineer John Mair passed away earlier this week.
John worked at NW from 1970 until the early 2000's. In the early 1970's, he spent some time working at sister station CJOB in Winnipeg helping to rebuild a burnt out transmitter site.
In recent years John suffered from diabetes and had a leg amputed several years ago.
R. I.P. to a longtime former co-worker and to a 47 year friend.
