“I love how you showed the respect to him as a “family” member. I’ve always felt that way about not only the Savatage Legion but all metal fans. We all live our lives together as one big family. Directly and indirectly through the music and the fans. As the band also said my condolences to his family and close friends. RIP Lorne!”
