It is with absolute sadness and grief that we have to write this blog.
Patrick's father, Randy Haynes passed away December 7th. (Unfortunately, we couldn't get to a computer to post this sooner) The details that we have on our end thus far is that he passed away from an asthma attack in his sleep...we are told he went peacefully.
Randy was one of the most genuine human beings any of us have ever met. He was basically like the 6th member of this band. Always came to shows when possible...heck you hardly ever saw him without a SLS shirt on. Sometimes it's a wonder if he loved this band and the music it made more than the members of the band itself. On top of that he treated each one of us like we were his own. All of us were lucky to have such a man in our lives!
Randy will be forever missed...we shall never forget him!
