According to a report in the Minneapolis/St Paul Business Journal written by Dylan Thomas and published on Nov 19, 62-year-old Jerry said he was retiring to focus on making art. ..............

The newspaper added that Jerry had some health issues. He recently underwent radiation treatment and chemotherapy for tongue cancer, which he described as “brutal”.

I checked and www.needledoctor.com is not working for me today.

EDIT:
The 1997 article as found linked in the other newspaper article is pretty good, I never read this story before.
