"Sam the Record Man" Sniderman, 92.
Spending hours browsing through the four floors of dusty racks of LPs and 33's in the Sam the Record Man flagship store at Yonge and Gould was nirvana for a Toronto teen growing up in the 60s and 70s. Buying and downloading songs just isn't the same.
In addition to selling the latest Beatles or Stones release, he did more than anyone to promote Canadian artists.

Herbert Lom, the versatile Czech-born actor who could play Napoleon Bonaparte or a witch hunter with equal aplomb but who was perhaps best known as Peter Sellers’s frustrated boss in the “Pink Panther” franchise, died on Thursday at his home in London. He was 95.
And a pretty good part in a very good movie-Spartacus. RIP
