He has passed away from cancer at his home in Stinson Beach, CA. Stinson Beach on yesterday (Thursday Februrary 16th, 2012) due to cancer.
He was said to have created the following note which was included with Skull & Roses and is credited as beginning the longstanding Grateful Dead newsletter community/family (no doubt partially responsible for Grateful Dead Tickets - independently providing tickets directly through the mail to the Grateful Dead community for many years through the 80s and 90s).
RIP Jon McIntire
