I am saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and brother, Rob Belanger. I met Rob many years ago when he was still in high school. He, Max Mueller, Jeff Knabe, and Ted Thompson recruited me to join their band -- which became Burst of Silence. Many hours and many miles that I will forever cherish. He was a incredible person and truly am honored and blessed for the time we spent together, the music we wrote, the times we laughed, the times we plucked on one another's nerves, the times we sat around chatting and having a beer. Words can not really express the emotions that I am feeling right now -- so I'll just let Rob sing them... RIP my friend.
