very saddened to hear about jl. such a lovely man and a great sense of =
humour and pride. Humble about his work with TONTO and beaming as he =
showed me his midified set of pipe organ pipes.
Once when the machine from hell defied his workbench he refused payment =
simply because his rule was that he charged only if it was working, and =
I argued that that's not right, and I feel bad about the damn thing and =
all of his lost time and he said:
well some small cigars for the dinner party. I know he ghosted on a lot =
of synth forums.  He had just retired but was staying on to work on =
TONTO. I shall miss him and we are diminished without his knowledge.
