From the Mgmusic Website:

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — August 21, 2005 — Bob died this afternoon at his home in Asheville, N.C. He was 71.
Bob was diagnosed with brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme or GBM) in late April 2005. He had received
both radiation treatment and chemotherapy to help combat the disease. He is survived by his wife, Ileana,
his five children, Laura Mg Lanier, Matthew Mg, Michelle Mg-Koussa, Renee Mg, and Miranda Richmond;
and the mother of his children, Shirleigh Mg.

Bob was warm and outgoing. He enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. He especially appreciated
what Ileana referred to as "the magical connection" between music-makers and their instruments.

The Mg Prodigy was my first ever synth. Thanks to Bob and his creations I have enjoyed a lifelong passion.
Long live Bob.

In 1974, at the age of 14, me and my Mg Sonic Six were tossed out of the house and into the snow because instead of doing homework, I was going to almost every recording studio in Chicago to play my 'electronic organ'. I went to college at the University of Kentucky and walked on to the jazz ensemble as a featured performer with that same Sonic Six. Traded licks with Lionel Hampton on that same keyboard at the Shelbyville Jazz Festival. Now I'm a multi-platinum record producer and Mg synthesizers are still a big part of my life. As a child, I always dreamed of owning a Modular Mg. Now I own the Mg Modular V2, and I've been using it to do beats for an online 'American Idol' type contest for rappers hosted by Vibe magazine. My music making motto is 'on time, in key, with passion'. There are very few musical instruments with the ability to produce sounds with as much character as the Modular V2's 9 oscillators and wide range of filters and modulators. Mg puts the passion in my music. To me, and for my life, Bob Mg was a true hero. R.I.P.
