RIP Davy Jones

[Graylion]

I meant "scary" as an understatement - he was less than 6 months older than me. I'm 66 in June!

I was geuinely shocked to hear this, 66 is way to young.
RIP Davy, thanks for the music.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Davy's passing; I was and still am a big fan of his. If anyone is interested, below are links to a few articles from my local newspaper -- the Philadelphia Daily News. The first two are NOT obituary-related articles...which is why I am posting them. They are from approx. 2009, when our local paper had a feature column called "Sexy Singles" which profiled [quite logically] single people from the area. The third article is obituary-related, but it refers back to the columnist's interview with Davy for the Sexy Singles column.

Davy lived in the suburbs of Pennsylvania for many years. It was not near Philadelphia where I live, but it was in the state of Pennsylvania. Any way, Davy was an avid horse owner and horse rider, and the article has photos of him dressed in riding chaps, standing with his horse. It appears from the article that while Davy was featured in the Sexy Singles column, he reunited with his former girlfriend, Jessica, and they married three months later and eventually moved to Florida.

I am comforted to hear he was happy at what turned out to be the end of his life. My deepest sympathies to Davy's family. God bless you, Davy. You will be missed.

- Donna
