Passing of Richard Vance
By Johan Liljencrants

Jay Mitlo,  It is deeply saddening to learn about Zeb having ended
his days.  I knew him as the ideal enthusiast and friend, always ready
to sacrifice time and work to help with advice and deed.  I cannot
remember all the times he has led me right in the mechanical music
world -- always experiencedly sage, always to the point, always helpful
and encouraging.

It is quaint that Zeb's passing coincides in time with my organ
project reaching its final, and my first appointment for it: an organ
propaganda tour in a Stockholm congregation.  Without the many
contributions from Zeb it is doubtful this project would ever have
completed successfully.  My wife Ose and I had the honor and pleasure
to receive him as our guest a couple of times during the last few
years.

Let me express our condolences.  Also, I believe I can speak for the
MMD Pipes Forum that we miss him as the great grandpa.  Zeb will remain
in our memories.
