catinmex Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I was always amazed at the height of his split jumps. A great athlete as well as artist. RIP Toller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWB Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 A true loss for skating and the art world. Toller was amazing at everything he did. He had the most marvelous 15 bedroom home in San Miguel De Allende and hundreds of friends. He will be missed by Canadians who remember his glory days on the ice and who loved his eclectic art. So very sad to die at such a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 65 years old, a youngster compared to many of us. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajijiccharlie Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sonia posted this earlier today. Cranston lived in San Miguel so it's not surprising that Sonia knew earlier that we did. (We do have our own Olympic skater here.) Cranston was a wonderful skater and artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbleitch Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Elvis and Gladys moved for a year. They still own their home here. He is racing karts and his sponsors really wanted him there full-time. I believe they will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'll miss you Toller. I enjoyed every one of your performances on the ice and you made all Canadians very proud. Also loved your whimsical art. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 So sorry to hear of the passing of Toller Cranston. He was truly before his time with his artistry on the ice. And his paintings were another side of his creativity. Condolences to his friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have just hired someone to drive their Mexican plated vehicle, that they drove to Canada, from Canada back to Mexico so that it can be sold.
