SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Joseph Shikany, 58, was killed Monday at his family's lake cabin near Spokane when a storm blew a tree over onto him, his nephew told The Seattle Times. Paul Shikany said his uncle had been trying to secure his boat to a dock when the accident happened.

The newspaper said Shikany played guitar and bass for several well-known Seattle-area bands, including Magic Bus, Sex and Violins, PowerCell, N'SANE, Spike & the Impalers and The Davanos.
