Nic and I go back to HCFX. Never met the guy but he was a great Internet personality and we've been FB friends for years. This is gonna take a bit to sink in.

Yikes, that's too bad. Way too young.

 

[Lerxst]

:(

 

[Stratguy]

Whoa. Life is indeed fleeting.

 

[Chad]

Bummer. I love their pedals.

 

[baimun]

Oh crap....

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Crap. He was always good to the DIY pedal crowd.
And he was a MOPAR guy.

I posted in the other thread first. Maybe someone can merge these. In any case, it is very sad news.

Boy, talk about random probability!

BTW -- anybody else note that they specified "Alder" tree in the article? It would be super weird and ironic if they made guitars out of it!

:run:

A pretty major figure at the golf course up in my home town where the nationals were played last year lost his life the same way last fall. Big storm in Gig Harbor, fir tree came down. Completely random. They were looking at whether some local development and clearing weakened the tree, but I don't think they found any particular fault in that case.

There's probably no fault to be found here. However, the fact that it was an alder tree does show that if there is a God, he has a sense of humor. I'm saddened by the loss of my internet friend. But you just can't ignore that part of the story. It's too weird.

Yeah, on that stretch of highway, the road is lined with essentially pulp trees and firs. I cannot imagine any fault would be found. And that alder part of the story is strange.


*I will have to admit, two of my guitars are alder. The 60th ann strat, and my CVC tele.*

Damn.

 

[altoidman]

Definitely sad and so random.

 

[Tiltsta]

Wow, RIP.

 

[CBHScott]

That sucks. RIP

He was kind to me, I think the world of catalinbread products. I use these every week in my performance and
recommend them to my own customers

posting this in Howie's thread too:

I saw Andy posted the obit on FB and read it. So very sad. I loved this part from the obit:

In lieu of flowers, please consider buying a cheap guitar and starting a band with your friends.
