Probably the first gig I went to.

I was reading his obituary on the BBC and amazed to discover he survived over 40 years following pancreatic cancer. Even with the Whipple operation, very few make it beyond 5 years. They must have caught it very early, which is unusual for that type of cancer.

Many would never have heard of him, but millions were affected by him as he was co-creator of the incredible Call of Duty franchise and also Medal of Honor.
The real sadness is that he was only 55yrs old.
A car crash did for him.
