R.I.P. drum brother Maurice.
Guys, I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news. Here is a PM I received by Zickos' wife:
===========================
Hi -
This is Gyan, Maurice's wife. He's known as Zickos on this forum.
Sad to tell you this news, but he passed away last Friday. His cancer had returned again, and he was diagnosed as terminal last December...that's why he was so eager to sell things - needed to get them out of the house so I wouldn't have to mess with them after he passed on, and needed the $$$ for all things medically related.
Anyway, he would spend hours on this site, and he enjoyed it so much!
I would appreciate it if you would make a post that he is no longer with us. He's probably playing drums with the Big Bands of long ago!
His name was Maurice Galoob, and below is his obituary. Thank you.
לברכה זיכרונו
May his memory be a blessing
Maurice Galoob, died on May 5, 2017 at his home
in Norman, Oklahoma, after a long illness. He
was born on November 19, 1946 in Ardmore to
Henry and June Galoob. He grew up in Healdton,
where he was a drum major in the marching band.
Maurice attended college at the University of
Oklahoma, where he earned his degree in music
education and met the love of his life--his wife
Gyan--in the Pride of Oklahoma. Through over
46 years of marriage, Maurice and Gyan built a
home full of love and music. For many years,
they co-owned and operated The Candy Basket,
a beloved candy and gift store in Norman. His
passion for teaching, evident in all his deeds,
was transmitted to his sons, both of whom are
educators in Tulsa. Maurice is survived by his
wife, Gyan Summers Galoob; his son Dr. Stephen
Galoob and wife Mindy Roe Galoob, of Tulsa;
his son David Galoob and wife Brittany Hayes,
of Tulsa; his grandchildren, Samuel and Isaac
Galoob; his siblings Dr. Harry Galoob and wife
Lynda (of Ardmore, OK), Stephanie Baker and
husband Ernie (of Ardmore, OK), and Michell
Brown and husband Bennett (of Phoenix, AZ);
and numerous cousins, nephews, and nieces.

So sorry to hear about this. I will recite Kaddish tonight.
RIP Zickos. I'll miss your posts.
I hate threads like this. Condolences go out to his family. Sounds like he was top-notch guy in all aspects of life.
RIP, Zickos. It was an honor & pleasure.

"Too many crappy used drum stuff to list"
Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
Great guy, RIP griend!

R.I.P. Zickos. You will be missed.
Same here. I never know what to say. I will tell you this though, I always feel like they're still with us in some way. For that reason, I don't get as sad as most people when it involves death. For me, they didn't really die, they're just in a different place.
We'll miss you Maurice!
