    Default Jerry Lawson Died?

    I just heard from Curt Vendel that Jerry Lawson died. I haven't found any verification or details. Has anyone heard anything?

    I heard from Marty G that he had... so I'm sadly taking it to be true for now.

    Who is he? I did a search and different people come up so I'm confused.

    No way... if so, we just lost one of the legends.

    Marty heard it from Curt as well. It's not that I don't believe Curt, I do, but I would just like to see this verified somewhere.

    1Up.com has an article, but there still seems to be little "legit" news about it. Very sad if true.

    If this is true then it is very sad news indeed. I remember meeting him at the CGE few years ago, and he was a fantastic person to talk to, really. Very sad news...
