He seems to have met with a lot of people who rated him highly as a person, as well as a musician. That's a pretty good way to be remembered.<BR/><BR/>EdEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243538543550888272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-15465171926791466962007-10-24T01:04:00.000+01:002007-10-24T01:04:00.000+01:00I'm happy to say that Raven and I have known each ...I'm happy to say that Raven and I have known each other for almost 10 years now. He was a very sweet guy who had a big heart. I was simply a fan of Killing Joke when I first started talking with him through E-mails. I soon met him and our friendship progressed. I'm happy to be able to say he was a friend of mine. Many fans of Killing Joke had the pleasure to meet and befriend him and we all shared the same opinion. He was a beautiful soul who will be sorely missed by many, many people.

He was very close with some friends of mine. I can say this, great bassist - he was also a good man, well-liked. He will be missed . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31163503.post-15041225058726000602007-10-22T15:12:00.000+01:002007-10-22T15:12:00.000+01:00Only saw them play once but I still remember it we...Only saw them play once but I still remember it well even though it was <B>27</B> years ago!
