RIP.  They did good music in their golden era.  Noel Paul Stookey is still alive at 87 and still married to his wife of 60+ years.  Mary Travers passed several years ago.

Not a fan of his pedophillia conviction.

I never owned any of their records but PP&M were a sort of backdrop in the early sixties.  You heard them on radio and TV.  Folk was a big thing and everybody was learning to play guitar.  As these guys die off it invokes a sort of nostalgia for me and a sort of slightly horrified cognitive dissonance because in my mind's eye I still hold the vision of them as the young folk musicians I saw on TV.
