Ugh I just read this!

He and Paul Kantner are having one hell of a jam in heaven now! :(

A great shame. I heard about his death in a two-minute Dutch radio news bulletin, which goes to show the high esteem the Airplane are held in even now.

He was one of the key figures in the San Francisco scene in the 1960's. This one hurts.  :(
