So sad to hear of John Houck's passing on 6/8. I had become re-aquainted with him about 5 years ago [how quickly time passes]. We'd get together and rock out to Led Zeppelin's last DVD. He loved RUSH, Zep, and many others. He also loved his tech. Probably why we got along so well. We're both gear heads in that respect. We always talked of going camping, but never made it. His illness struck not long after we were re-aquainted, and he had a long hard battle. But he was always chearful and strong willed through it all. I went to see him recently, and even then, he would smile when he saw his friends, even though he could not respond well. He was still - John. His wife Charlena was there for him, and with him, the whole way.
Rest in Peace John.
