Re: Very sad news

When I heard the news of Nathan's passing, I had no idea of just how much he meant to me because I just starting crying and sobbed for a short while. My wife came over to me and asked me what was wrong. I then told her: "I just found out that I lost a good friend". Nathan and I exchanged emails just a few weeks ago. Yes, he was a fairly young man working towards his Doctorate in Clarinet Performance. My eldest brother died when he was just 31 (46 yrs ago) and he had just received his Doctorate in E.E., so maybe that had something to do with my reaction. I knew that Nathan had some serious medical problems (as did my brother) but I had no idea that they could cause an early death.

I will most certainly miss him for his kindness towards me and his patience in explaining mouthpiece concepts to me. He was a true gentleman.

May he rest in peace.
