Again I want to offer my condolences. I knew he was a jazz enthusiast. In my younger days I was a music major, trumpet player and played classical and jazz. We liked some of the same bands and musicians. I felt sad to hear he is gone. No funeral home
was indicated. If I am able I would show my respects. Most importantly my prayers are with his wife and family.
