WHY: 6 months to the date…on July 14, 2005, Michael, John and Doug (3 close friends, fellow musicians and co-workers at Shure Incorporated) were stopped at a stoplight in Skokie, IL when their Honda Civic was struck from behind by a woman traveling over 70 m.p.h. who was trying to commit suicide. All three men died in the tragic accident, but their combined spirit, compassion for others, love of music and overall zest for life live on. On this night we gather to celebrate the musical talent and lives of three of the greatest…3Friends we’ll remember forever. Please visit www.3friends.org
