not if any of you know the situation, but our friend ain't 100%. he's got a facebook thread on it. i have been stocked to know of him since 77, and to get to know him more and more at various times and places over the years. a true individual and inspiration. i'm wishing the best for him. he's a gem of a human. for privacy reasons, i'm not linking it up. if you want to know more, private message me or if you're his FB friend, you can learn about it. all the best to you, ash.

He was a neat guy. Took the time to correspond/pm with me on his death bed. What a great dude. Hope he is resting well.

It’s insane how talented/creative he was. He did some kickass conceptual art along with his amazing paintings and sculptures etc.

I liked his stories in here about big Balangan. Never surfed it much but one day I saw him out there about 5 years ago in the spot. We didn't chop it up but in retrospect I wish I said hello

Anybody got the link to that thread his writing and vocabulary is literary genius status. Respect!
