The infamous 21815 Republic estate in fashionable Ferndale was founded by Ugly Mike, Hideous George, Shoeless Jack Voorhees and the Reverend Johnny Eschandiggle. If you met Johnny you'd never forget him. A crazy loud long haired hillbilly who loved deer hunting, his herb,his beer, and Heavy Metal (particularly Iron Maiden), John was a good bro who always paid his rent and could be counted on to give you a buzz and a laugh. George used his bass and amp many times in the early days, and Johnny was an early supporter of UBP. Sadly, Johnny left this world at the age of 42 (correction) this past Wednesday, February 25.  I hadn't seen him in a LONG time, but I'm sure he was living life on his own terms. The COD was cirrhosis of the liver, not too surprising given the Reverend's legendary thirst. I'm sure he's up in the great beyond, hammered and smokin' a fat one, and left all his pain behind.
