Sorry to hear of this.
I have a custom Pickguard from him on my Strat that was cut in a manner such that you can work-on/modify/experiment with the electronics without having to remove the entire picguard.
He was one month older than me (I was born on 12/10/63).
Condolences to his friends and family.
