his time of year will be bittersweet for our group. Usually this was when Vince would come down and we’d celebrate his Birthday. But this year we can’t do that since Vince is no longer with us. And just thinking about all that is sad, but we remember the good times too. So if your reading this Vinnie, we love you and we miss you. Everyone else, we hope you can remember Vince in your special way, and we will see you soon.

Love

Evan, Jimmy, Chongo, Dave, Charley and Elliot.

Here is A Happy Song by Dave ABear

Currently listening: Missing Man Formation By Vince Welnick Release date: 28 April, 1998

From the Grateful Dead’s Official Website

The wheel is turning almightily fast. Life is loss, but our times have turned sorrowful indeed. It is with very heavy hearts that we must tell you that Vince Welnick passed away today, June 2, 2006. His service to and love for the Grateful Dead were heart-felt and essential. He had a loving soul and a joy in music that we were lucky to share. We grieve especially for his widow Lori, his sister Nancy, and the rest of his family.

Our Grateful Dead prayer for the repose of his spirit:

May the four winds blow him safely home.
