[> Subject: Re: Sad News Author: Kelly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12/17/05 10:07am So sad to hear this. I hadn't heard about him being ill, so it comes as a very sad surprise. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He was an excellent drummer. And from everything I've ever read about him, I got the impression he was also a really nice guy. I also appreciated the road journal he wrote on the last tour. That had to have taken a lot of time and effort to write, and I really enjoyed reading what it was like from a musician's perspective. May he rest in peace.
