Cygnus XI has lost his battle with cancer

[straycat]

Got a nice note from Martha and a pic of Kevin and his Charvel 88.
Thanks so much for the pic Martha I will treasure it.

Cool. I'm guessing it's an older photo, just reminds me of the 70s or 80s for some reason. But it has to be 1988 at the least, since he's playing a Model 88. Maybe when he first got it? It looks new.

[straycat]

Don't know for sure Don.

I had no idea he was sick. Awful news. RIP Kevin

No Fuggin' Way ! Really ?? Really !!! Well, Kevin took it on the chin like a boss!!

Just like the kid in my Cyg. We clicked from day one.

He always said he "got me", "figured out", "from day one" ect. / No matter what oozed within typed poo.

I came here for a peek and see this shit?? Well, F my ass! Cygs would understand.

He will be truly missed but not forgotten..not here.

Shocked, sad, ..but our connection remains, and that makes perfect sense.

Respectfully,

Bill Z

An amp legend on many forums he was a part of.

Martha,

All I can say is that Kevin was loved here. I am very and truly sorry. I'm the cynic, now loner, with my wife of 25 years and 18yr son. Cygs heard many a tale from me. ALL BAD in a very good way. If you ever heard "Fuggums" coming out of his mouth..and I know you did..alot. I did that. That's what we did. That was my "Fuggums". I'm honored that he embraced that word more than I do. It's not my word anymore. It will always be his.

His next amp could have easily been "Fuggums 13". Brother Straycat knows this. These are facts.

I don't don't anything but this forum JCF. No FB, clitters, queefs, twits..nuttin'. We love Kevin. He wa soooooooooooo proud of this work of art a year ago >>>>>http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/132...ight=cygs+bill

The term of 100% love and endearment is "Fuggums". That may appear odd or even wrong if you're not in this FX loop or new. It's not. It is the secret handshake. It is and always will be the password to all things good. It is my personal, everlasting connection with your husband Kevin. Who inspires me at the very core.


That pic is 1983 give or take 1 year. These are facts.


Love,

Bill Z Bub

A great guy and he will surely be missed but not forgotten. RIP Kevin.

Sorry for the family's loss.

Very sad to have come across this.

I am probably the least technical member on here from an electronics standpoint, but I always enjoyed reading about his projects in the hope that I would eventually absorb some knowledge about the inner workings of amps.

I missed this somehow...very sad. RIP Cyg.

Had no idea he was sick. Haven't been here in a while. Good guy. RIP

Hi Guys. It's been awhile since I have posted. I have kept in contact with Martha. We chat once or twice a week. She's doing just fine. She got a job. You have to understand how close they were. I am happy for her. Anyway, I thought you like to know there is wife after death. She would have laughed at my poor pun. That's why I love her. Take care.
