I was shocked by the news !! I will always remember talking for hours with him about old movies and music trivia. He was even thoughtful enough to make tapes (yes cassette tapes not CDs) of old jazz and blues music and artists for me which I loved. I will miss his smiling face and old jokes. I will also miss him as a staple in the SSP shows. I will always cherish my memories of him and he will always be with me especially when I listen to the tapes he made for me. My prayers go out to the family. Tami
