Oh my, I didn't realize this just happened. I hadn't been on in a long time, and saw the drumming post, but thought it must have happened some time ago. My condolences. I met and chatted with him at the meet before the benefit concert at Hamilton Place after Gord's illness. Thanks for posting this info and the link.
So very sorry to hear this sad news. Although I never met him, he sounded like a very kind and generous person. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort.
