What a bummer. Been travelling for a bit and am now home, unable to sleep. Decided to see what's been going on here in my absence and this is the first thing I read. Sad news indeed. My thoughts are with his family now.

My prayers go out to his family.

I'm in for flowers too.

Had a thought,as a lot of you have mentioned flowers how about a memorial section on the forum,like gone but not forgotten.So any forum member who passed away would be remembered.

As others have stated, too young. A loss of a talented and decent man. Condolences to his family and friends. I always enjoyed David's posts.

Wow, what a wakeup call. I'm going in Tuesday for a complete physical. I never look forward to those, but after news like this, I put up with the prodding and poking so I can hope to have just a little more time with the family and of course STAGE TIME. Some times all the precautionary measures cannot stop these things from happening though. R.I.P.

Dang it. That really sucks. I never met Norton, but in checking out his website and seeing his love & care of guitars and general sweet demeanor, I would have been honored to make his acquaintance.

The timing here is eerie on a personal level. I lost a dear friend on June 26th 11 years ago, and a girlfriend on June 27th 15 years ago.

Shawn - that's a great idea! Hopefully you'll get enough support from those here who were close enough to those who have passed and can contribute in the way of pics & testimony.

That is really sad news, very young, hope his family is OK.

Sean, it may look neat to you, but there was more reason than looks for that guard - it held the wings on the body!

Yeah, I saw that in the notes, but from a visual POV, it's cool.

Oh, jeez... So we can "check the obits" every time we log in to the forum? We are getting old...
