I'm sorry to hear that.  He certainly made his mark on early rock music history.

Jerry Allison is still with us.

And Sonny Curtis (vocalist in the first video). He played with Buddy pre-Crickets and then joined the Crickets after Buddy died. Sonny is more well known for writing I Fought The Law and the Mary Tyler Moore show theme.
