He was from Memphis, TN too, by the way. That makes at least two of the boxtops who have died. The drummer went on to own a series of bars named "Hueys", which also happens to serve one of the best hamburgers in town. He died of cancer last year - Thomas Boggs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Boggs
