Oprano (and the industry) has been an emotional roller coaster lately. I just got perked up at the good news with Dokk in the other thread ... now this. Shit!
So sorry to hear. My condolences.
JD was one in a million. Totally unique individual. Definitely one of the early industry celebs. A fun guy to talk with. Always full of energy and brimming with new ideas. The guy just emanated a glow and a magnetism. He'll be sorely missed.
