The
late

manager
Lou
Pitt,

a

statement
calling

a
"National
treasure".
"Chris
was
an
extraordinary
man
who
deeply
loved
and
respected
his
profession
with
great
old
fashion
manners,
self-deprecating
humor
and
the
music
of
words.
He
was
a
National
Treasure
who
deeply
relished
his
Canadian
roots.
Through
his
art
and
humanity,
he
touched
all
of
our
hearts
and
his
legendary
life
will
endure
for
all
generations
to
come.
He
will
forever
be

us,"

Plummer
best
known
for
his
1965
appearance
as
Captain
John
Von
Trapp
in
The
Sound
of
Music,
had
reportedly
started
his
career
as
a

What
an

Few

have
such

One

was
playing
piano
together
in
the
Thrombey
house
between
set

#christopherplummer,
Captain
of
us
all.
PS
when
you
were
doing
your
marvelous
Lear
at
@LCTheater
&
that
phone
with
a
clucking
chicken
ringtone
went
off
during
a
quiet
moment,
that
was
me.
I’m
so
sorry.
