It saddens me to know that someone from a part of my growing up in NYC in the 70's (H.S. of A&D) had passed on. You don't always know when or how, or even if you've touched someone's life... or that you've become a positive influence. Iz the Wiz inspired and promoted through his art. It is through his art and inspiration that he will be remembered, and sorely missed by his friends and family.
I humbly offer my condolences, and I raise my glass to Iz the Wiz.
