He is survived by his mother Vanji, his son Bill, his wife Barbie Antonis and her two children Adam and Georgia. Our thoughts and condolences are with them and with his many friends across the world. From a personal perspective, in more recent years we had moved from being mere acquaintances, to friends, and I will really miss his wit, his kindness, his insight and his searching mind. David Gilmour has made the following statement: "We first met in our early teens. We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed. "He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend. "The artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work. "I will miss him." |
