Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

With a sad heart, I just now found out about the death of Norman Mallory's (aka Zlatko Waterman on Studio8) while doing a search for some of his work and finding his obituary. I'm afraid I'm speechless at the moment.

Please post your comments & tributes to Norman in this forum.

RIP, Norman. We love you!

I had just written this before discovering your email on Zlatcko. I trust his passing was gentle as a spring breeze.

Death is not a finality but a new door opening to the wonder of life we've never witnessed before.

Thank you for sharing your art and words with us, NM.

Another regret for me, I never got meet up with Clay, we talked about getting together for a few beers at one our favorite honky tonk's in Texas and Norman and stilltrucking talked about getting together at some truck stop in L.A. and having a cuppa of coffee. I should have took took Lew Welch's advice and hitchiked a thousand miles just to meet Norman in person. I feel like I lost a friend I missed a chance to know better, ain't that the way that it goes
