Heartbroken and stunned as we post this 💔. You watched over the whole field from “The best seat in the house,” posted up stage left of the West Stage, for full days at a time and for as many years as we can remember as our medic. You never took a break, were always on duty, and the quickest to lend a helping hand. You are the truest of Mazzstock Famiglia, taking care of all of those around you. Some people are just so warm that you never mind asking them for help. You are one of those. Always loving, giving, kind, funny, sharp, easy to work with, and a real inspiration to all of us. You saved lives, and it was all in a day’s work for you. And how many more lives did you touch by just being a great soul and a bright light to be around? So many. You will be missed by so so many. We Wish You Were Here, Piper. Please continue to watch over us, but rest easy all the same.
