    I remember when you came into our lives my brother in law so many years ago. You came with your wonderful music and a heart of gold. You loved my sister, she was your ‘Queen and you were her King’ I remember how and when that was said. The fact is, it’s true. The love you two shared for each other and your family will live on in each of your children and all those you have touched with your decades of music and quiet love. You ended all our calls will ‘God Bless you my Sister!’ And now I say, Rest in peace my brother. Be with our loving Lord.I know he has said to you ‘Good Job My Son.’

    To my loving brother known to me as’ Eraser’. I miss you already. I will miss our talks about the Lord . I will always remember the times you ,Tracy, Dennis and I spent together. I know you are resting in the Lord now. You know we never said good-bye.It always took us at least five minutes to hang up the phone by saying Adios or Ole and other ways to say good -bye .then we would laugh until we hung up the phone. I love you my brother . ‘Ole’
