Thanks to whoever it was that put together this flash mob at Sobeys. Made me smile before the pants got scared off me at the cash register!

I first saw

on The Forest Rangers. Dad told me he’s from here and it seemed impossible! Later we’d watch The Rodyman together, and who can forget his appearances on 22? He showed a lot of people the way.

If you’re not old enough to remember what ‘The Real’ Mike Critch sounded like, or you’d just like to hear Dad again … have a listen. That’s a pic of a baby me at the end ☺️

Fun Fact! I’m Mike ‘Campbell’ as opposed to Critch because Dad was retiring from radio as I was getting into it. Boss gave me 12 hours to rebrand 🤔 Thanks

Kept my initials, and Mom’s maiden name was Bell.
I took this pic of
#GordDownie
at what was then Mile One. Every time I met him I’d introduce myself and he’d say ‘I know who you are’. He didn’t. He was just being nice. This is the 5th anniversary of his passing and the legend lives on. 🙏
Dad would always ask ‘how much is a bottle of beer downtown now?’ Whatever the answer was, he’d respond with ‘Good Gawd!’ Cheers to all hands involved with

As a kid I got to visit Dad a lot at work. Popping up over the hill to bring him a sandwich and whatnot. Today my daughter joined me on air … Lucy kept me on my toes! If you watch closely, you might catch her on

gave me a

shirt … where I used to work. Down the road from da house. And I gave him a key to Wing Ding Place. A hotel from the 60s … up the road from da house. He’s in room 205.
Mom passed away December 21st, 2017. Let’s just say it wasn’t expected. My heart goes out to you if you’ve ever lost someone during this time of year.

Regrettably, I only shared the mic with Dad once. It was Father’s Day

I was looking for a ‘B’ person in contacts, and Tom popped up. I must admit it’s rattled me and left me thinking for a few days. Is there someone in your life that’s passed ... but, you can’t delete them from your phone? ❤️
#BigTomForever
Mike Critch Sr. would have been 100 today! These pictures are from the day he took me for a haircut. Mom was shocked upon our return! Love these photo booth snaps … You can really see the twinkle in his eye. A kind man with a rapier wit. RIP Dad

today on the 11th anniversary of his passing. We hung this banner on the Shed and so many people dropped by to sign it, leave flowers or just have a look and remember. Thanks Tommy. We sure do miss you. ❤️
‘IT’S CALLED SON OF A CRITCH. MARK CRITCH PLAYS HIS FATHER MIKE CRITCH, AND MIKE CAMPBELL, WHO’S ALSO MIKE CRITCH, IS PLAYED BY SOME MAINLAND FELLA. THERE’S AN OLD FELLA IN IT FROM STAR WARS OR SOMETHING. OH, AND PINOCCHIO PLAYS MARK CRITCH’

He was quite the guy and I appreciate him more and more, as the years go by. If you Dad is still around, he would probably like a call.
