He had been suffering from cancer of the esophagus. His popular Christmas segment “It Feels Like Christmas” was a regular feature on CJOK. An ordained minister, Gipp loved Christmas and his greatest achievement was establishing the Mustard Street Church and food bank in Victoria. Sister churches sprang up in Calgary and Edmonton. A memorial service is planned for April 26th.

Yep – I remember you well – I’m glad to say I’m a little quicker on digging comments out of the spam filter now…

I’m sure your site is getting as much activity as mine is right now regarding Gipp. He really was a much loved treasure and will indeed be greatly missed.

We really have lost a close friend haven’t we…

It was through your site I finally found Gipp a couple of years ago.

This is sad news for I feel like I lost a friend. At the same time we should celebrate all that he gave us. He made such a difference in the lives of so many people.

As I said on my site, if the success of a person can be measured by how many people he positively touched and influenced Gipp Forster is an immensely wealthy man.
