In Memory of

Jim Dunlap
Bob Hart
Marty Stites

Marty Stites, lead singer for Portland bands The Warloks and later River, passed away the morning of April 21, 2011 after a long battle with bone cancer.  Possessed of irrepressible positive attitude and boundless energy he will be sorely missed. The Portland music scene was a much brighter place and blessed by Marty’s presence.  God speed Marty
