    "Andy" John Andrew Vojtko
    I wish to Inform the Deadhead community that my Best Friend in the entire world as passed and any fellow heads that would know him (and there were many, many heads)should know that this happened, particularily Tony in Portland that i do not know how to contact but I saw at the 2004 show there with the Dead. Andy was a model deadhead in his belief system or principals. Jerry would of have been proud to call him friend , he never wanted to be a typical fan or hassle anyone at anytime. He was my music partner we went to so many shows together , the ones on my profile is a small sampling. His knowledge of the music and the Dead plus numerous other band community was like a library of knowledge , The vault people could of used Andy. The following is his Obit and the DEADHEADS worldwide weather you knew him or not, should heed to his passing. His story is 30 years plus and amazing. It would take more space than I'm provided to tell the story from beginning to end. I have been given his music collection , which is quite extensive in tapes as well as CD's , Probably more than 3000 pieces or more. I will be cataloging this collection of live shows and all. The following is the OBIT , My Tears have flown for three days now since I found out. Yesterday was the big day for the furneral and being with his family. I have known Andy since we were 15 years old. John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko of Libertyville Visitation for John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko, 45, will be from 1 p.m. until the time of the services at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 28, at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 29700 N. St. Mary's Road, Libertyville, with Pastor Robert Davis officiating. Born Aug. 18, 1962, in Libertyville, he passed away Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Andy had lived in the Libertyville-Mundelein area all his life. He was a 1980 graduate of Libertyville High School, received an associates degree from the College of Lake County and attended Illinois State University. He was a charter member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Libertyville and was employed as a cook at Winchester House for many years. Andy enjoyed music, model trains, the outdoors, various pets and cooking. Surviving are his parents, Gerald and Delores Vojtko of Libertyville; two sisters, Jane (Charles) Binning of Cornville, Ariz. and Lynne (Darren) Rogers of Wauconda; and his favorite nephew and niece, Ethan and Brianna Rogers. Memorial contributions can be made to your favorite charity. Arrangements were made by Burnett-Dane Funeral Home, Libertyville, 847-362-3009. Published in the Chicago Suburban Daily Herald on 6/27/2008.

Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm 74 Looking for all Dead Heads in Darrow or Compton at BGSU! Radio DJ, Pool Man, Cliff, and any others, very bad with names, my only dead album back then was Workingman's Dead but there were some others that had every album at BGSU

I was the guy in the floor level crip section in a purple wheelchair. Names I remember: Wayne and Judy. Wayne saw his first show in '68, Judy around '90 like me. Then there was the bald dude with the iPhone I talked to of and on through most of the show, and then there was the usher who volunteered for the shows who I had a really nice chat with and who basically danced the night away as far as I could tell - and did her "job" at the same time. Neat! Oh, and the guy in the white shirt I chatted with on BART on the way to the show. Anyway, I had a great time and you all were beautiful. :) Please contact me if you are comfortable doing so, even if I didn't mention you.

Hey folks,I'm a british deadhead who recently got married and moved back to the states after 20 years(now living in Tennessee). Between 1989 and 1991 I was on and off tour and attended around 75 shows in total. I had some good friends back then and I'm wondering if any of them are still deadheads or linked up to the scene in some way? Its been ages but if anyone knows these folks please let them know I'm on this forum and ask them to get in touch. 'Greg' lived in Washington state and drove a black chevy van to every show in 1991. He had long black hair and beard. He said the Deadheads was his only family because sadly he'd lost his real family in a car crash. We toured together in the Fall tour 1991 and drove from the West coast to 3 shows in Ohio, and then the 9 night run at MSG in NYC. Those were my last shows and I flew back to England after that. In Spring tour 1989 I knew this cool couple Greg and Christine; we toured the last half of Spring tour 1989 starting in Cleveland, and going to Milwaukee, Chicago, Minnesota Stpaul. We then travelled back to the West coast, spending a week at Cougar Hot springs on route, and finally ending up in Santa Cruz, where we lived all summer. Actually theres a whole bunch of folks I knew back from tour in 1989, some of which I'm still in touch with, but mostly lost contact with: Chris and TJ (the hitchhikers to Atlanta), Chris and Amy, Chet, Jim (who drove us all the way in his van)? Anybody still in touch with these folk from '89? Suuch a long shot, but hey, just though it would be interesting to post... Lookin' forward to some 2010 shows... Jules the astrologer

For those of you who've been following this forum and wondering if anyone ever hooks up with old friends, well, yes, they do! Yesterday I saw the message that Brent's sister left and I called her. She wasn't home, but I had a nice chat with her husband and look forward to talking to Chrissy soon. I also heard from someone I'd never met who knew Brent. So if you're looking for some long lost friend, don't give up hope. They're out there somewhere! BTW I'd still love to hear from Chris Currado or anyone else who knew Brent. marj_mcc@yahoo.com

Looking for my old friend, Jeff. We lived on the same block in Newport News, VA from 1986-1988? You and Scott, who also lived on same block, introduced me to the the music and you guys took me and my son Paul to our first Dead shows at Hampton Coliseum in 1987. I also took you to my family Thanksgiving gathering one year. You were originally from CA (the Bay area I believe) and I think you moved back there. If you see this please send me a private message or a post here. Would love to hear from you! Preston

I'v been looking for my dog since september. Her name is RainyDay. She is a brendle boxer and around 2yrs old. I took ownership of her last year . Just to finde out that the guy I got her from stole her from lot as a puppy.I thought that it was cool that she made it back. She is loved by my children and myself . When I got her she definatly needed some love and care. She became one of my children very quick. Her head was to count in a rowe of children under blankets at night. She got a bed time kiss as well. My husband did a very shady thing. He asked if he could keep her with him while I took a run to oregon with my children to pick up my oldest boy. He said he just wanted to have some one to sleep next to while I was gone. Just houres after I left he passed her off to some traviler some where between sonoma and mendo county and then he him self left and I havn't seen ethore since. A friend said they had seen RainyDay with some kid outside of Willits CA in september and they where heading south. We are still looking for her and lover her very much.If you have heard of her or have seen her since september please let me know. I'm afrade she's being handed off and not loved and taken care of properly.We've lost everything inclouding daddy. So we just want are dog back!Lovin you all
