I absolutely love the Hip, never enough love outside Canada. He went out with grace, lots of talk for his last performance of Ahead by a Century, rightfully so, but I get absolutely crushed by the performance of Grace Too a few days before that. There is a video of it on YouTube where he just wears it on his face, one of the most powerful yet saddest thing I've ever watched. I think most of us can only hope to have a fraction of the strength and bravery Downie had.
