What horribly sad news.
Willie was an absolute legend. I'll miss what he brought to the Dome greatly.

RIP.
The organ and the trumpet tunes at Flames games made for such a comforting environment.
Who was the player before Joosen? I remember the Irene Besse sponsorship but can’t recall the actual organ player’s name.

Oh man. That really sucks. I loved when he'd go off the beaten path. Nothing better than being at a game and going "Is that the Zelda theme?"
All the best to his family and friends.

I thought it acturally was Irene Besse playing, for at least some of the early years.

I think in 'Dome history, Irene and Willy were the only full-timers.
