Between 1982 and 1986, Witmer was the lead singer of the Downchild Blues Band, one of three singers[REF] who replaced Downchild co-founder Richard "Hock" Walsh,[REF] during various periods when Walsh either left the band or was fired as Downchild's lead singer [REF].
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that The Fabricators announce the passing of John Witmer (lead singer).
