Not sure if many of you remember him, but guitarman has passed away [View all]

I don't post on DU anymore but made an exception for this at the request of a mutual friend who was too torn up to do this herself. It happened suddenly last night.He was 50 and leaves a wife and a 9 year old daughter who was the apple of her daddy's eye.Some of you may remember the pictures he used to post of her...
Just wanted to pass this along, and if anyone wants to share with DU in general, and not just the lounge, that'd be fine. Thank you.
BTW, he was no longer a DUer but I hope it's still OK, to let people know anyway.
