RIP and have a cheeseburger in paradise.

Does anyone know what he was battling?

Melanoma which led to lymphoma.

He lived down here.

Very visible.

Never got to see him in concert but wanted to.

Heard the news this morning. Had a Margarita in his honor. RIP

Melanoma? I guess that would make sense down in tropical Margaritaville. As they say when a mountain-climber falls to his death, well, he died living the way he loved to live... The age of 76 though nowadays seems too young to go.

So very sad to hear the news of his passing.

I spent part of my high school years in PR. Thus, I can relate to in so many ways to this song of his:

When our kids were growing up, his was the only music that both kids and parents liked. We shall all miss him.

One of the few decent guys who would never let a language into his songs that were not permissible on the radio.
