March 4th, 2007 - Richard Joseph has passed away
Hello. I'm very sorry to inform you that musician Richard Joseph (Barbarian, Cauldron 2) passed away this afternoon. He was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year, and was undergoing chemo but was very weak. He slipped into a coma earlier today but sadly his body gave up earlier this afternoon. I got to know Richard thanks to the Back in Time Live events, and he was just the kindest person to talk to, and a top lad! Rest in peace Richard. (Source: Morpheus of http://www.c64.com) |

Quote: Rest in peace, "Alf"
Last week an old friend of mine, whom I've known since I was 14 or something, died at the age of 38. Together with Carlo (aka Alf from The New Generation Crew) I wrote my very first demo on the Commodore 64 and was one of the main influences in my life that made me decide I wanted to work with computers.
Rest in peace, Carlo, you will be remembered. |
