Bob Bogle, co-founder of the Ventures, has died, according to the
band's Web site. Bogle founded Tacoma's most influential rock band
with fellow construction worker Don Wilson in 1959. Bogle and his
band mates - known for "Walk, Don't Run," "Hawaii Five-O" and a slew
of other hits - were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

Bogle died Sunday, according to <http://www.theventures.com>
the band's Web site, where the following was posted:

It is with profound sadness and grief that we must inform Ventures'
fans all over the world that Bob Bogle passed away on Sunday, June
14. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family at this terrible
time, especially his beloved wife, Yumi, who has been the light of
his life for so many years. The Ventures' members are completely
devasted, and share the pain of this loss with all our friends and
fans. As more information becomes available, it will be posted here,
and we hope to set up a section on this site for messages from those
who wish to post them.

The music world has lost a true original and an innovator - may all
our wonderful memories console us.
