I just saw that, too. :'( Just had quad bypass surgery earlier this year, too. I knew he was up there, but I didn't realize he was 70. Holy cow. Rest in peace, little buddy. --Thom Kilowatt Amplifier One Zero Grid Current Title: Re: Farewell, little buddy. Post by: W1JS on September 06, 2005, 03:03:24 PM That's sad. :(
