Banjo Buddy passed away peacefully on July 15th

He was a wonderful man who had a great sense of humor and we all miss him very much. He loved to play golf and duplicate bridge and did both until his body was too weak to do so. He loved to play cribbage and was victorious almost every time. He was a great joke and story teller. His mind was extremely sharp right up to the end of his life. At his memorial service we played two of his Brunswick recordings which made the service extra special.
