It is indeed sad, though when I heard he had a project going, I felt that it was likely he would pass shortly after it was finished.

While it is a somewhat morbid read, a book called "The Way We Die" by Dempsey I beleive (All my stuff is in storage pending a new home being built) talked about how terminally ill people can often postpone their own death to fullfill seeing something through - a marriage of a child- project- graduation etc. Once the event occurs the passing follows quickly.

Regardless, as y name is Rowland (OK I spell it wrong) I always had an affinity for the Thomspon gunner song.

Rest in Peace Warren

Carmelita is my favorite.
"I hear mariachi static on my radio, and the tubes they glow in the dark..."

and "I'm sitting here playing solitaire with a pearl-handled deck..." from the same tune.
Incredible imagery, he is already sorely missed.
