Larry,

I am so sorry for the loss of your wife.

Today marks 10 months since I lost my wife. We were just a few weeks shy of our 50th anniversary, as well.

You are, and will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Two More Gone

My brother died on Wednesday, and my brother-in-law died Thursday morning. Both were musicians, and we had played music together since the '50s. They will be missed.

We couldn't be with either family because of my wife's failing health.

So sorry to hear this. I used to see him every day when he worked at the Foundry, in Duncan, OK. He and his family were regular customers at my sister-in-law's restaurant.

Bobbe Seymour RIP

So sad to hear this. Bobbe used to live in my home town, up in Oklahoma. We worked in the same machine shop, but at different times.

My first pedal steel, was also his first.

The family is in my prayers.

Lost my biggest fan today.

Darvin,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It is never easy to see them go, but it is good that we know where she is today. That is what life is all about, and she has made it.

You and your family are in my prayers.

I am really sorry to hear this. He grew up next door to me, in Oklahoma. We had mutual relatives.

He WAS a great musician and a great individual. He will surely be missed.

Yes, we lost another hero.

My unit was on the Hawaii tracking station for that mission. I got to see the three of them, out in the Pacific while they were still in the quarantine capsule. It was exciting to meet them.

I still remember the excitement when we heard, "The Eagle Has Landed."
