I'm a displaced Torontonian who now lives in British Columbia, but who still visits Toronto five or six times per year. When I was in Toronto in June, I noticed that Martin Streek and Barry Taylor were not on the air, but I didn't think much of it. However, when I visited in August, it was clear to me that they were gone from the Edge, and I figured that they were victims of yet another corporate re-structuring. I have only now learned that Martin Streek took his own life, and I cannot begin to describe the disconnectedness and loss that this made me feel. As a 30-year listener to the Edge (and the Spirit of Radio), I send my condolences to his family and friends. But I also want to acknowledge Martin's contribution to the Toronto radio and music scene, and to say that they are both diminished by his passing.

I miss hearing your taste in music being represented on the radio station...over the past seven years you where a huge influence in shaping my musical taste into what it is today.
Thank you Martin, I hope you are at peace.

I moved away from Toronto in 1997. I was a regular listener to The Edge, FM96 and Q107, but still if you talk to me about Toronto or Canadian Radio, Martin's is the voice I hear.
Wish I'd been able to tell him that.
Safe journies, amigo.

Martin Streek was always so friendly every time I stopped by the store front studio during the Thursday 30... and every time I saw him at the Phoenix. He had a special way of making the people he talked to feel important no matter who they were. He will be greatly missed but his memory will live on...

Wow! I can't believe this! Only now hearing about it. I've been away. I partied with this guy back in Jan 2008 at the Velvet. I even have his autograph on a hat at home. He's was a great man!

While i think the Edge did their duty to give Martin Streek respect and his fans/friends the chance to leave a note paying tribute or saying good-bye, I am disappointed to see that all the station said in regards to a very long time former employee only recently let go, was a brief and impersonal note to the people he cared for. What about all of the great work he did over so many years, dedicated to your station? Am I correct in stating that it's 30 years? Perhaps that's all they wished to say at the time, but it seems cold not to give more comments about a man they knew very, very well for more than half his life. Please review this and see if there's something else you'd like to say for your lost friend.
To Martin, I never got the chance to meet you in person, but enjoyed your work and may I also say good-bye on behalf of your friend and mine Bradley... D. who was so deeply saddened and crushed by ending your time here. I choose to believe you're in a much better place now, without pain. Sharing your talents and charm with others above, or perhaps in another life. If you're up there, rest in final peace brother.
