Hope he left a succession plan.

His wife is taking over.

That's just nuts.  65??  And when I watched his pressers I thought he was 75!

Even if the successiong plan wants to bail sometime, I recall them saying there was a couple of dozen other people/groups wanting to buy EDM when they were up for sale.

RIP fellow CFL fan

Can't see his wife wanting to throw good money after bad and selling a CFL team is always a major hassle,  Hopefully Larry had a son who wants to takeover the team like the talented Wetenhall boy did the Als.
