Another Montrealer who died recently but has had only a brief listing is Victor Knight, who was one of the founders of the Dawson theatre program and otherwise a force in local English theatre. I didn’t know him, but I used to have some friends in theatre and thus heard the name from time to time. But nobody’s written a proper obit.
