(June 23, 1935 - January 4, 2010)

A Toronto fan and cartoonist. He published Panic Button, Que Pasado and Vahana and was active in the 50s and into the 60s.

He became less involved in fandom and more in the nascent counterculture with the passage of time; Panic Button became less of a fanzine, and more a magazine of satire and comment which was sold on local newsstands and in his establishment, "The Coexistence Candy Store".

He was also involved in the film industry as an actor, director and writer from the mid 1960s.

Ted White said of him: "I think he became a fan by accident and fandom was a minor detour on his road to success."
