It is going around on Facebook that Gregory Dobrov (aka Dobro) has died.

I don't know if this is true, but condolences to his family if it is true. Can someone who knows him confirm?

https://www.facebook.com/adobrov?fref=tl_fr_box&pnref=lhc.friends

"My beloved brother Grisha passed away this morning after a 4-year battle with cancer. He was such an amazing father, husband, scholar, musician - and the best bro. We miss him so much already"

.....................RIP our OFC friend.......... Dobro...

I've had several conversations with him over the past few years, including sending pictures he requested for the artwork on the album. I never had a clue. I understand though. It's a private thing for most of us fighters/survivors.

It was a great sounding guitar in my hands but a magnificent guitar when he played it.
RIP

Greg was a very nice guy, he has been so kind with me in the past and I'm really shocked.
Nothing else to say than these few words in french.
Repose en paix très cher Greg et sois assuré que tu resteras dans notre mémoire.

I too had spoken with Greg recently. When Jeff was selling his guitar I talked to Greg about it and he was concerned that Jeff was selling all his stuff. He seemed like a great guy. The guitars sold on eBay before I had a chance to buy it and I even spoke with Jeff just after it sold. Then a few days later Jeff was gone.

Very sad to loose them both and their music.

Location: Flahdaw		You know, it really makes you wonder/think. I know everybody's different, but there are those like Dobro who suffer whatever they're going thru in dignified silence. Then there are others who feel it's necessary to divulge every little problem they might have, to people they don't even know, on the world wide web.
Hunh....?
