The lovely, talented Catherine O'Hara delivers her emotional eulogy at John Candy's Memorial Service on March 18, 1994 at St. Basil's Church in Toronto.

My John Candy story is discovering him in the 1984 movie "Splash", and then 4 years later learning he got his start on Second City Television, thanks to reruns aired on Nick at Nite. I would love to have met him on the sets of Planes, Trains & Automobiles and/or Canadian Bacon, had I known both movies were filmed in Buffalo, where I lived in the 1980s and 1990s.

It would have been so worth driving 2 hours to have attended this phenomenal event. Alas, I wasn't aware of such until the CBC special TO JOHN WITH LOVE showed a clip of Catherine's eulogy.

Kudos to David Kohl, for uploading the complete memorial service, which can be found here:    • John Candy's Memorial Service
