waving guy on hastings
 

I found out today the waving guy at Hastings and Cassiar passed away last week after fighting off some cancer. Hard to believe he's been there over 8 years doing his thing.

His name was Jerry.

Drove by him everyday for probably 5 or 6 years. Nice guy if you ever spoke with him. Sad news.

RIP.
A lot of the most random guys you see on the street are actually really nice, sad to see that people just sterotype them right away.

This guy just literally stood at the intersection waving at people?

yeah he never asked for money he just waves and talks to you see how's your day going sad news... rip

RIP Jerry.

RIP Jerry, "King of Cassiar."

I used to have chats with him about the Olympics. I used to give him fruits!

Never saw him, but seems to me he was a good human being.

RIP, he will be missed. The attitude he had...damn. Probably got a lot more just from pure respect from othe people, 'cause he was there, doing his thing, just bein' a guy.

Sad. I wondered why he wasn't on the corner so often.

rip, gonna miss you this year.

maybe i've seen you, but i'm not too sure
anyways, may you rest in peace Jerry :') you're in a better place

RIP.... seen him for many years working at playland.
cleanest strip of street in the city.

btw... how'd u figure that out???

RIP

There was a news clip on global yesterday.

go to the Mike McCardell section and the video is called Farewell Jerry.

Very nice man, always saw him giving the peace sign when I would get off school from Cap College. I would always pop him a dollar or two and he would say thank you in chinese. RIP Jerry

RIP

whats teh facebook page? cant seem to find it

oh i know this guy when i used to work in north van.

"how you doing" "hey" "have a nice day" made my wait at the left turn lane easier...

Must've been hard for him to keep waving while battling cancer

Super cool dude. Never asked for money. Never pushy. Always pleasant.

I was happy to give him some money occasionally.

I dunno about a memorial group specifically, but there's "Friends of the waving guy at Hastings and Cassiar" - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2419044751

Damn so there are some nice people out there. This guy was battling cancer and still went out of his way to ask how YOUR day was going..

Never saw the guy but RIP

for some reason I thought of the churchs chicken guy

RIP

Very Nice person.
