From Pete Carter, via Brian Jerry Meyer:
JD passed away very quietly (finally) at 7 PM 0n 1 August. He had a wonderful day yesterday with Jools...spent the morning in Remuera on foot at the bank and also breakfast at the DELI . . . his favourite coffeee spot. This morning he had plans . . . obviously. Not sure what they were, but he got up and showered at 7, had a shave and was fully dressed when he left the bathroom. In other words he was prepared and totally immaculate. He collapsed on his bed having a massive heart attack.
-----He's been surrounded by a big group of friends and James and Julie all day in Auckland Hospital. The staff were wonderful, kept him calm all day but after a huge struggle he gave up at 7 PM. He fought all day and never gave up . . . he was amazing. So a great man and mate has passed on.
-----So sorry to bring you sad news. I'm sure you'll pass this on to all the appropriate people as well. Jools would really appreciate that. A big musical farewell is planned, hopefully with Army Band participation and Auckland Grammar music department as well.
