CALGARY HERALD - Roger Caron, bank robber and award-winning author, dead at 73, Apr 17, 2012

 "Roger Caron, one of Canada’s most notorious criminals — and for a time, one of its most celebrated — is dead.
The one-time bank robber turned award-winning novelist had been a resident of the Sandfield Place Nursing Home in Cornwall, in eastern Ontario, for a few years. He died there Wednesday, the day before his 74th birthday.
Caron wrote Go-Boy!, a prison memoir that became a national bestseller and won the Governor General’s Award for non-fiction in 1977. The book was a powerful and disturbing account of the more than two decades he had spent in jail."
