^^^ Incredibly sad......

Gaudreau, 31, and brother, Matthew, 29, are Carneys Point, New Jersey, natives and were in the area for their sister Katie’s wedding scheduled for Friday in Philadelphia, at which they were to be groomsmen.

New Jersey State police said Friday the Gaudreau brothers were cycling on a road when a man driving in the same direction attempted to pass two other vehicles and struck them from behind, causing fatal injuries.

This is just awful. All because of a drunk idiot.

Royal Air Force vet (9 years)

Herbie Flowers


“Not many of us get our own entry in Wikipedia as Herbie did,” the family tribute continued. “Herbie’s musical contributions continued as he worked to involve children in music later in life. Herbie played a huge role in [his niece] Lorraine’s life as a substitute father. Herbie walked her down the aisle at our wedding. She loved him dearly. I was blessed to have known him. We’ll miss you Uncle Herbie! Rock on.”
Born Brian Keith Flowers in 1938, he first began his tenure as a tuba bandsman in the Royal Air Force in the 1950s, where he served for nine years. In the ’60s, Flowers cemented his reputation as a session bassist, working for record producers like Shel Talmy, Steve Rowland, Mickie Most and Tony Visconti. In 1969, he was one of the founding members of Blue Mink (which saw chart success through debut single “Melting Pot”) and played on Bowie’s self-titled album. Per BBC, he is thought to have contributed to more than 500 hit albums by the close of the ’70s.

Tito Jackson, member of the Jackson 5, has died at 70, his sons say
He always seemed more level headed than some of the others. They had it going on for a minute. RIP
