The world has lost the rarest of souls, and so many of us have lost a true friend. Robert "Boa" Garthe was as kind, generous, brilliant, and funny as any human being I've ever met, and it's so hard to imagine this world without him. A loving father, devoted husband, and the truest of friends. He will be badly missed by anyone who had the fortune of knowing him, but I feel so fortunate to have stood by his side so many times in various smoke-filled rooms in various time zones as our favorite band made our dreams come true.
It will never be the same without you, brother Bo. Thanks for all of the good times, the baseball talk, and for everything you did to engender a feeling of family in the crazy Black Crowes fan community. I have so many great memories that began with you grabbing my arm and smugly saying "follow me".
Rest in power, friend.
