Word that our former NHL’er, Ed (Sonny) Kryzanowski, had died at Atikokan, his home of recent years, hit those from my high school era here very hard. His memory will be prized in Fort Frances, his original hometown, because this always modest man began his athletic career here in high school football as well as hockey of the 1940s before the Boston Bruins claimed him for its blueline. Sonny was closer to me than any other high school friend, having bunked with me twice at Kenora when we spent two nights there after football games.
