Erin, I was so sad to hear you are leaving Toronto.
We have never met, but I respect you for so many reasons.
You are kind, sensitive, loving and so respectful of everyone. You are the real deal!!!
I’m hopeful after you and Rob have time to rest and heal,
you will make the decision to return to Toronto in any capacity. You will always be welcomed with open arms.
That is my Christmas wish.
Thank you for always being there for everyone.
Take care of each other.
Love,
Sheila Davidson

Richard, you will be sadly missed as you leave and move on to your next adventure. I wish you nothing but the best & hope you will come back every now & then to give us an update.
You were the BEST host with the greatest sense of humour, even when items were crashing around you on the Live TV.
Always a man of class & taste! Please don’t stay away too long. XoxoX

You are my favorite hosts (no disrespect meant to the other fabulous hosts) and I’m sad for your fans but thrilled for you! Thanks for the many laughs we have shared from home with you.
Take care and enjoy whatever the future holds for you!

Dear Erin,

You won’t remember me. I wrote to you a long time ago because my husband and I went away and when we came back you were no longer at CHFI. We were devastated. Then we found you along the dial once more and we were overjoyed!

And we went away again and when we returned you were no longer along the dial and we were upset once again. But then you returned to CHFI with Mike and he was the perfect match.

You see, you and Don Daynard were our friends when we moved to Brampton from Montreal back in 1991. Every morning I could count on the two of you to start my morning with a few laughs and get me through the tough days having left family and friends behind.

And then we loved listening to you and Mike. On our long drives to work, through traffic you kept us company.

Well, Stuart and I retired a few years ago and we travel often. We flew home from a long trip on November the 9th to be told by our daughter that you had announced that you were moving and that this time it would be permanent.

And at first I thought of how sad I was and how much I would miss hearing you. And then I read your blog and I cried.

Since we’ve been retired I must say that we just don’t get up as early in the morning anymore and often we miss you. Life changes when you retire, but then again, Stuart tells everyone that this is the best job he has ever had. We love it!

We were in Montreal when your daughter passed away. No one should lose a child. I wanted to write and I couldn’t, I didn’t know what to say. I’m sorry.

You are going to be missed by so many people. But your true friends, the ones who really love you will always be there for you. We’ve been gone from Montreal now for over 25 years. We still go back and visit and these same friends still come visit us – friendships like that endure. And now we have friends that we met here in Brampton and they moved to Vancouver and we’ve visited them and they’ve returned to stay with us. It’s the same thing- some friendships are forever. Life goes on.

Life is great but as we all know it does come with an expiration date. And in some cases it’s not a long life. So enjoy your life. Do what makes you happy. Enjoy not having to get up early anymore. Gradually you will learn to sleep in. Enjoy your life in a different city, a different part of the country. And enjoy it with family and soon with new friends. And do all those things on your bucket list! Why wait?

And know this . . . that the people of Toronto will miss you and love you and wish you well. And you will forever be part of their memories and ours! Sending hugs!

Love,
Cathy

Erin…I had the pleasure of meeting you & Rob back in January at Secrets The Vine Cancun. What a beautiful place that was (despite the weather lol) I wish you & Rob all the best out west. My daughter used to live in Victoria & it truly is a beautiful place.

You will be missed! Take care!

Richard
I can’t believe that this is true!! You will be missed by sooooo many! We have come to love watching you in the evening. TSC will never be the same. You and Norm were our evening ‘shopping time’ hosts. Your laughter was infectious and we the viewers laughted along with you. Good luck in your next adventure, and we hope that we see you back on the tv in some other capacity.

Being “on air” with Richard was most certainly a highlight in my life and I always enjoyed his quick wit, professionalism and charm. He always made his guests feel comfortable. My favourite, was when a loud bang was heard while he was on air and Richard chimed in with “Did somebody drop an earring?” A very funny, talented and charming man. I look forward to see what he has “up his sleeve” next.

Richard I will miss your Ukrainian words thrown into your conversations from time to time, like this casserole dish will be wonderful to make holubtsi in and then present them at the table in the same dish.

Good luck to you in your future projects.
