Saw a video from the funeral . . wonder if he will be laid to rest in California or will he return to Canada? I also saw that he is survived by his parents, his brothers and 2 sisters . . can't imagine losing a child . . .

I don't know what video you saw Dave but according to the Rush forum they're all bogus.

I was surprised to see something . . makes more sense that it was bogus. I read through the link you shared and I agree with one of the members that the service was probably over before they announced that he passed. Still wonder if he was cremated or laid to rest somewhere?

I am / was a huge RUSH fan! Every year that they toured, I was there. My wife would give me shit . . . "You just went last year!" I would say . . . "You never know, this may be the last time I get to see them!" Now it is over . . . never again. Reminds me of Led Zeppelin . . . Was going to the show before their drummer passed. I was devastated then but this one hit me hard. Rush was a major influence to my guitar playing . . . I can play pretty much all the songs up to and including Moving Pictures. They were "Rock Gods" in my world . . .

There's a push to honor him with a statue or plaque in my neck of the woods. The article has links to the petition and gofundme pages.

I think that is an amazing idea to have a memorial at Lakeside Park!

One of those shocks that puts you to the floor...

Being an Montrealer in my youth, I was fortunate to see the show that they recorded for Exit... Stage Left. Max Webster was the opening act. Great night and a $10 ticket.

cool rare interview.....

Sadness, I also attended my first Rush concert on the Farewell to Kings tour, and again most recently on the Clockwork Angels tour in 2012. The day I knew I was going to a Rush concert always put a happy grin on my mug.

One of the greatest drummers of all time. RIP...
