Dan, thanks for the heads up. 47 is too soon.

Titanic Tony, pleasant journey, no worries, fond farewell.

Anyone know the Titanic tag story?
I'm just happy to be here.

Dang. That's three RRF member losses this year (that I'm aware of) Sorry to hear about the passing of Tony. There's always an extra bite to the loss when it's a musician/lover of the arts in any capacity.

This reminds me - I need to play more often.

I'd never met or heard of Tony before hearing of his passing, so I scrounged this old pic from a previous post - Tony Cooper circa 1979:

Sad – reminder to Love always, Laugh often and Play whenever you get a chance. Far too young to have departed so soon. Wishing peace and tranquillity to Tony and his family.

This is Tony when I first met him in 1999.

Thanks for the pic, Mark.

Wow.

Far too young. Who knows about tomorrow... let today be the best you can make it, and tell the ones you love what they mean to you every chance you get.
What do you mean the Bass is too loud???

Didn't know him, but still the passing of a fellow forumite is sad.

He looks like a very good person to know. So sad to hear of his loss.

I don't remember him personally, but it's saddening to hear of a fellow forumite's passing.
