His generosity to his fellow artists &#8211; he was creative in every possible way (I never checked on all of them, but it has GOT to be true) &#8211; was unfailing, as was his humour and joie de vivre. At least when other people were about. His quiet side was saved for home and family, I understand. After a short wicked bout with cancer, he died in June of this year, and left quite a few of us gobsmacked at the news. And regretting that we did not have the chance to see him that one last time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been helping Susan prepare for Sudsy&#8217;s &#8216;wake&#8217; &#8211; thanks to Sean and the Irish Heather, there will be a kegger at the Shebeen Club on Wednesday September 7, and the music and songs will be interspersed with great stories told and read by Sudsy&#8217;s friends. 8 pm to closing.<\/p>\n<p>Send your stories if you have &#8217;em and can&#8217;t be there in person.
