My friend, Paul Hovan, passed from this disease two hours before his 75th birthday I knew him more of my life than not. He was a music promoter in Vancouver and this is his obituary in Billboard Canada, also video of a song from his Celebration of Life. Whenever Linda Kidder was performing, he always requested Blue Bayou.

Randy - can you please add his name to your tile? Thanks.

May his soul rest in peace , this cancer always reminds me of the torture my father had to go through. The fitest person , with daily walk n no non veg no alcohol no tobacco in his life ever and simple prostate problem turned into cancer even under doctor's supervision. He has gone 3 yrs ago but still his family we all cannot believe it . People around us still remember him as most generous , humble and helpful person who had nothing to do with them still helped them a lot very quietly in financial trouble with his money n time

It seems that he had quite a full life. It is sad but also great that he had such a rich life experience.

My condolences.

I’m sorry to read about this. Glad you knew him for so long though. The obituary was great, what an accomplished man in a challenging field. So many legends he worked with. It’s sad but wonderful to know a bit of how beloved he clearly was. We musicians cannot thrive without people like him. Thank you for sharing and again my deepest condolences.

Deep sorrow for your loss… unfortunately, I too am grieving the loss of a friend, to a different cancer.

Indeed he lived a full life and that is one solace I have with this and any cancer.

It may destroy our bodies but cannot destroy what we’ve accomplished in life.

It cannot diminish our ability to love, be loved or care for others.

It cannot destroy our soul.

Love to all
