RIP Tim Lüntzell of the Dust

Lee has taken to social media to express his sadness over the loss of friend and Lee Ranaldo and the Dust bandmate Tim Lüntzel. I have been unsuccessful in finding an account of what happened, but I thought it would be appropriate to give condolences here.

This is what he wrote on Instagram, early this morning:

I loved playing with you every time we took the stage together, from that first Occupy rally in Foley Square thru to late 2015 in São Paulo-the last show for The Dust. I'm so glad you were able t play on almost every track on my new record. You were an inspiration these last years above all. My friend, mi bajo.

RIP Tim.

I don't have Instagram. It was posted to Lee's Facebook page.

I'm surprised this thread has only received one comment. :(

His playing on that Dust record is unbelievable, so effortlessly fluid. I wish I knew more about his other work. Very sad news, he seemed loved by many if the dozens and dozens of Facebook posts I've seen are any indication.

Saw the flood of posts on facebook too, they give the impression he was a good man, a total pro and a stellar player.

I read he had a long battle with Lou Gherig's Disease. Really sad news, indeed.

Rest in Peace.
