So very sorry to hear of his passing. I was in Graphic Arts with him at Pioneer. He always very nice!
Very sad to hear of his passing. We were in the same Graphic Arts class at Pioneer, and he was always so friendly and open to talking about anything and everything. I remember him introducing me to all these obscure rock bands that I never would’ve heard about otherwise. Gone way too soon. Condolences to all his family and friends.
