Jack Rootoo (Richard Galivin) passed away last night after finding out a couple weeks ago that he had cancer of the esophagus. Jack played with Lou Miami and the Kozmetix in the 80's and then from 1988-2002 with Girl On Top. Luckily, I was able to say goodbye. Jack also was an artist, woodworker, father, husband. He was surrounded by much love on his last days. I will put an email out as soon as I find out when the services are."

This is sad news, got to play with him with an old band in Worcester several years ago, super nice guy. My heart goes out to his family and friends. RIP, Jack. (I thought that was his real name too).
