RIP. Sad for anyone to die so young.
Think he's a bit of an underrated figure. David Bowie was clearly inspired by him (even though he and the rest of the 'New Romantics' were obviously inspired by Bowie in the first place). He wan't asked to appear in the Ashes to Ashes video for nothing.
He's the one on the far left at 0:53 for anyone that's interested...

Fade To Grey is an 80's classic of the highest order.

He was a really nice guy too - he lived around the corner from my parents and would often stop for a chat with them.

John McGeoch co-wrote some Visage songs.
Check out his work with Magazine... Real Life (1978) is excellent.
