In Memory of John W. Hix

Post by Paul E. Miller »

My childhood steel guitar teacher passed away Thursday. It's been a long time since I started taking lessons at his studio in 1967, but I feel a great loss at his passing. I know that none of you know of him or me, I just needed to "talk" I guess. Please say a prayer for his family if you will.

Thanks, Paul

John W Hix Passing

I too was saddened by his passing. I know 6 of his 10 kids and it is obvious how much they respected their Dad. His love of Hawaiian music became his passion. Unfortunately, he never made it to the Islands. May he Rest in Peace!
