Several dignitaries and friends were present at Saint-Patrick’s Basilica in Montreal during the funeral service for former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, which took place on Thursday. As I approached Mila Mulroney, the former prime minister’s wife, she greeted me with a warm hug. His son Ben told me how much his father appreciated our friendship. His daughter, Caroline, described to me the fun she had with her father at Expos games before he became prime minister. His son Mark was telling me how his father loved baseball. I lost a friend in Brian Mulroney.
