Bah, f this. I'm getting to an age where more and more people I like Dutch and good friends are leaving the world. Life is wonderful but often hard. I really enjoyed his content. RIP

RIP Dutchy. Always one of the best broadcasters. Will be missed.
Him, Gino Reda, Romanuk, Gord Miller… that was my sports childhood
No idea. He was with CTV Vancouver for a time. Still think he's in the area.

Very sad news.
Guys if you have trouble starting or stopping your pee, go see the doctor. A simple blood test to check your PSA can save your life.

TSN’s sports centre was a big part of my after school routine after I stopped watching cartoons for a few years. Dutchie always seemed like a larger than life figure. His humour, on air presence and personality were bar none

Met him once, absolute tank of a guy in real life, he was kind enough to take a few minutes to speak with a few of us high school kids.

Great comment.
it's covered under OHIP with a DR's referral.
It's $35 without.
It's worth $35 to do it every year once you hit 40.
Don't wait until you are in your 50's

TSN in the 90’s were so much fun, I miss Jim Van Horne’s iconic moustache

I was lucky enough to get to him know him in a very minor way going to high school with and being buddies with his younger son. An absolute gem of a human, one of those few guys who universally everyone enjoys watching/ listening to in terms of sports media. He will be missed greatly. He became a bit of a local legend in Aurora. If you were lucky you might catch him in the summer at the lcbo in nothing but a tank top and gym shorts looking like a beast and filling one of their little buggies up with booze, the guy was a beauty in every imaginable way. I even had him as a friend on Xbox, you’d see him log on at some grotesque hour of the night when he got home from work and we’d be wasted on the couch just happy to see Dutchy logging on.

I honestly didn't know he had cancer. A legend gone far too soon.

Definitely a good idea. Many of the symptoms can mirror an enlarged prostate which is very common but it never hurts to check especially into your 40s and beyond.

Depending on your age bracket he seemed like the type that was either your coolest friend or your coolest uncle. RIP.
I googled when this was going by the highlughts and it was a late 80s day going the Kings/Jets game. That was about 35 years ago so Dutch was only 22 then.
I didn't know he did western sports shows too, since I know him from TSN,

This is exactly right and in my case it was just that. Regular PSA should be between 0.0-4.0
Above 4 and it is suspicious. Above 10 and it becomes a concern. Mine was at 38.9.
Did all the tests, mri’s, ultrasounds, ct scans PSMA scan and a biopsy.
Turns out my number is normal for me.
This all came from that simple bloodtest that I asked my doctor for because of those symptoms.
Get it done boys.
