Although his marriage to my sister didn't work out , we still remained friends..He was the Cool guy with the Charger, and could play Drums.We Jamed together with him on drums and me on bass jamming some cover tunes in the late 80s..great memories of our times hanging out together. My condolences to his family..Rest in Peace my brother
