Loved and missed, I miss hearing the grinding of the machine in the shop as you made your beautiful harmonics, I miss your drawing of the seas and ships. I bet now you are playing the harmonicas for the angels chorus as they acconpany you in song/ You are now in your “Safe Harbor” Sp I shall only say good-night untill we meet again.
Love, Mom
David,
You will be sadly missed by me and others. I can remember when you use to play all kind of musical instruments back in the 80′s, I truley enjoyed listening to you play them. You were definetly, different from the rest. Till we meet again in the walks of heaven rip
