Larry Updike

Amidst all of the drama around my surgery yesterday, I had forgotten that today is Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day to my amazing Dad, Lee Updike!! Still going strong at 92. Love you, Dad ❤️

For those who are wondering: my surgery will take place sometime this afternoon (Sat Jun 15). If you don’t know what this is about, check my X page.

@TomMcGouran Thanks, man

@LarryUpdike Lots of love brother!

I have received shocking news I have colon cancer … and spots on my liver. ⤵️

@KMooreCJOB @680CJOB Congrats, man!

Many will ask “why this guy?” and that’s fair. But I’m eternally grateful to all of the very special people who said “why not?” Thank you as well to the MB HHOF selection committee, my colleagues @680CJOB - and especially my wife and family for always being there.

I’ve been getting questions about how my autistic son Gordon reacted to the death of our family dog, Norty. The answer might surprise you. 😔⤵️

@KevinRollason 🎂❤️

Hard to believe another year has gone by and our youngest daughter is now 27. While Mary has had multiple challenges in her life, she has always been one of the sweetest, most lovable - and most mischievous - persons you could ever meet. Here’s to many more Mary! ❤️ 🎂

I HOPE I’M DOING THIS RIGHT (Thorn/Maddox) This is a PAUL THORN song from his 2010 album Pimps & Preachers. It highlights the good in everyone, including those from the “wrong side of the tracks”. It’s a brutally honest ballad, written as only Thorn can write. #realcountrymusic

Today, we honour the brave soldiers who stormed Juno Beach on D-Day, including the Royal Winnipeg Rifles & Fort Garry Horse. Their sacrifice & valour changed the course of history & secured the freedoms we cherish today. Let us remember their heroism & commitment to peace. #DDay

This is incredibly touching to witness. Listen to what the veteran tells Zelenskiy and what Zelenskiy says in reply.

Bravery. Courage. Sacrifice. 80 years ago today, over 14,000 Canadians landed at Normandy to help free Europe from Nazi occupation. See newly restored footage in the first comment. ⤵️
