Terrible news. Thank you for letting us know Chris.

I played the S.O.S. festival with him in Ottawa 2017. He brought a full =
Buchla system to the stage. It was a great show and it was really nice =
to hear and see him perform.

Later, he gave away this very same Buchla to support two people who =
needed urgent type 0 partial liver transplants.
