I just read this after checking my email over at yahoo. Was going to post a link, but you beat me to it my friend. Anyways, really sorry to hear this. My warmest thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He had a very unique voice-one that is going to be greatly missed. RIP!!!!

Cheers,

Phil
