<\/p>\nBrulotte went on to enjoy a long media career in both radio and television.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
He called Expos and MLB games on CKAC, RDS and TVA Sports, in addition to writing various columns for the Journal de Montr\u00e9al over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cRodger\u2019s authenticity and kindness made him a beloved figure in the hearts of Quebecers,\u201d said Qu\u00e9becor president and CEO Pierre Karl P\u00e9ladeau in a statement. \u201cHe brought passion to his work and a rare ability to connect with people. Rodger helped shape the Journal de Montr\u00e9al\u2019s identity. He was \u2014 and always will be \u2014 one of its most iconic voices.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a privilege to be able to count on him during all these years \u2014 as a respected columnist for the Journal, a gifted broadcaster on TVA Sports, and above all a friend. On behalf of everyone at Quebecor, I extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Pascale Vall\u00e9e and to all his loved ones and colleagues. He will be profoundly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before joining TVA Sports in 2011 to help call Toronto Blue Jays games, Brulotte worked for nearly 20 years at RDS.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Rodger Brulotte. On behalf of the entire RDS family, I would like to extend our most sincere condolences to his wife Pascale, his family, his friends, all those who worked with him at RDS, as well as the Quebec baseball community,\u201d said RDS director Charles Perreault.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis love of baseball shaped generations of athletes and fans. Through his vision and dedication, he helped give Quebec baseball a soul, an identity and a future. His passion will forever be part of the history of sport in Quebec.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to his work in the media, Brulotte was also at the heart of efforts to bring the Expos back to Montreal, working alongside former Montreal mayor Denis Coderre.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy friend has left us. One of Quebec\u2019s greatest voices. Rodger Brulotte embodied \u2018nos Z\u2019amours.\u2019 Montreal, all of Quebec, is in mourning. He was an inspiration to me, an unwavering ally in both good times and bad,\u201d Coderre wrote on his Facebook page. \u201cThe least we can do is lower all flags to half-mast. My dear Rodger, I tip my hat to you for everything you accomplished. My thoughts and prayers are with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
