I cannot begin to express my sadness in this tribute. Instead I'll focus on the wonderful memories. Thirty years ago, Duane, Joe and I set out form a rock band. Barely teenagers, we learned our respective instruments well considering our youth.  I made the logical switch to bass (nobody plays better than Joe!) and off we went.  The north end streets were a bit safer because three teenagers had a common love of music and a desire to make music.  We kept it together for almost six years until we graduation from HS.  The gigs, camp outs and the gatherings conjure up so many memories.  Duane was a relentless prankster and had a wicked sense of humor. And of course was an insanely talented drummer.  We never had a chance to play together again after high school and for that, I am sorry.  This last week I've looked through the photo albums, watched old videos and listen to some metal. Its like I got to know you all over again. So many great memories are triggered.  I miss you.  Rest well my friend!  Love Sean##imported-begin##Sean Gaffney##imported-end##
