'We’re just shattered': Family mourns Ontario conductor killed in Hamilton, Ont. hit-and-run
The 78-year-old was fatally struck by a vehicle around 10:20 a.m. on Tuesday, near Park Avenue South at Markland Street. Police allege the driver fled the scene prior to being arrested a short distance away.
“We’re just shattered,” his daughter Alex Brott told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday. “He really did have a very profound effect on people who loved music and he was such a great communicator.” The orchestra said their community was in a state of disbelief and that Brott was a mentor to “countless young musicians.”
“So many people have had such really sweet things and memories and little snippets of time that they remember where he encouraged them and made them feel amazing,” she said. “That was really his big gift.”
