For reasons of 3AM deliriousness the movie The Stoned Age will always be the first thing I associate with his name.

My cheese is beyond sad to learn of his passing.

[RStar]

Mine to! I'm glad I got to see him a few years back at a Star Trek convention. Seeing him an William Shatner discuses the old days was priceless. They also had James Doohan there, and he passed shortly there after.

It's with a heavy heart that I post this. My son passed away this morning. He has been messing with drugs on and off for the past 10 - 15 years now. We are waiting for the autopsy, but it appears to be a drug overdose. He was 27. A parent should never have to go through this......

:(

[€uroMeinke]

I am so sorry for your loss, such an awful thing to experience. Much love and mojo to you and your family.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I agree, no parent should have to go through losing a child. **hugs** I'm sorry.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

So very sorry to hear.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

That's absolutely heart-wrenching. You have my deepest condolences.

[katiesue]

Oh Ron I'm so sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

[Ghoulish Delight]

So sorry to hear this news. Condolences to you and your family.

[RStar]

Thank you all. I have been surrounded by love that has given me strength. I don't know what i would do with out my family and friends, including all of you. In fact, some of you met him at Mouse Adventure. He did the first two years with me, 2002, 2003 (I'm pretty sure 2003). In 2002 we were Team #56 Redd Rocketts. He's the kid in the middle.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

On of my favorite quotes of his is, "Nobody ever goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

He's one of those where I say "I didn't know he was still alive". This one feels like the end of an era...
