My family and I were just talking about him and I decided to look him up. I am so sorry for your loss. If all of the smiles he put on peoples faces reflect on him on the other side, he is having a wonderful time.

Joe did the funniest episode bits on the impersonation of William F. Buckley on SCTV where one was on 'school bussing' and the other on 'Meatloaf' both were done exceptional well especially with the mannerisms that Mr. Buckley was noted for. Ironically, Mr. Flaherty and Mr. Buckley both departed at the age of 82 with my condolences to the families on their loss to one of my favorite funniest personalities of all time.
