He is sort of an indirect family friend and about once or twice a season I end up sitting with his wife and my mom and her pals at the odd games. A really genuine good person, Peter Maher is.
When I was a kid during an exhibition game he literally drove me to the game, did his pregame ritual involving Tim Hortons on Macleod right before the cemetery, brought me to the broadcast booth to sit next to him while he broadcast the game, down to the post game interviews in the Flames dressing room and into the Hot Stove lounge. I'll never forget it, it was an unbelievable experience. All that plus the odd random autograph... He is a 100% class act. Best radio play by play guy.
