One of the classiest guys I have ever been around. Always had time for the fans and the city of Toronto. Rest in peace Johnny #1

"There may not be a more loved Toronto Maple Leaf nor a former player who loved them as much back.”

Johnny Bower was as kind a human being as there ever was. A Hall of Famer in every way. So saddened to hear of his passing at age 93. Thinking of his wife Nancy & the family.
