Davey jsut sent me the word on Jordan's passing, an dI am terribly saddened. Similar to Buddy's posting, I hadn't seen Jordan in years but he was the kind of guy that pops into your thoughts every once in a while, even if you haven't seen him for ages. Last time I saw him was in San Francisco, skating down the street (I spotted him from a freeway overpass, and shouted at him, but he didn't hear me). I knew it was him, he was unmistakeable. And I confirmed it later that night at a Dwarves show when I got to say hi.Jordan's memory brings back great memories of summers (and winters!) spent skating in Eugene and the Northwest in general in the late 80s and 90s, and I will never forget our trip to Boston, staying at his place, and watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 for the first time, rolling on the ground laughing, playing darts, street skating, etc. Even if we aren't in constant contact, the circle of friends we shared remain some of my best I have made in my life, and we will all miss Jordan. Never Forget the 'Squatch!
