A Celebration of Life for Red Sangster was held on Saturday.

Sangster passed away back in January at the age of 90. He was known as a sports icon, for developing hockey and baseball when the City was a few years old.

His son, Jack Sangster says a Celebration of Life was what he would have wanted: "Dad wanted a celebration of life. He wanted to have everybody come together and he said 'I want to buy everybody a beer, and have a beer gardens, have some food, have some fun, tell a few stories and have a few laughs' ".

A few laughs were had, as family and friends shared stories of the Thompson legend.
