Damn that sucks. I'm sure it was comforting to him to know that, in one respect, he made his impression upon the world. He'll be remembered by the great achievements and advances he made to the world of music, and he'll surely be remembered as a man who brought about a new era in an aspect of culture that is permenant, Music. You can't ask for more than that, to be remembered for something, and to be memorialized after you are gone.

I'm beginning to doubt the news now. Where in the hell did they find out about this? I cannot find anything on it AT ALL.

Not finding any official mention of it either, even on the Moog Music website.

On the other hand, the last posting on his personal online journal by his wife on Friday definitely seems to indicate the end is sadly very near: http://www.caringbridge.com/cb/inputSit ... me=bobmoog

I'd imagine that if it were real, KVR would have it up in the news.
