Tom Rivers was 57. He was an immensely popular rock 'n' roll DJ in the 1970s and 1980s who worked at rock stations throughout Canada and the U.S. for 30 years.
I remember Tom Rivers well from the early 80s when he hosted the 680 CFTR morning show. My preference at the time was Jesse and Gene on Q107, but being a typical pre-teen I coasted over to CFTR every once in a while where I'd here Tom. He was a Toronto institution, primarily for his previous gig at CHUM. It's a shame to lose him so young.
