Kelly, Wendy,Vicki &Jade, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. My thoughts are with you at this time. Its not easy to let go that's for sure; but take comfort in knowing that he will drop you signs now and then to let you know he's still a very big part of your life. They never really leave us.... Hugs to you and your families. Kim & Nando Quadrini (Kim Bradford )

Condolences to Joanne and family. It is hard to put into words the loss of such a good friend and wonderful musician with whom I have had the good fortune to perform and entertain so many folks over the years. From Kozaks to the Arcade, the Grand and just about every Legion and Service Club to the Regional Center at Cedar Springs, his trombone was truly an extension of himself. Thanks for the memories.

Our deepest sympathy to Art's family. He and Joanne were good friends to my mother, also a musician, the late Ollie Dee. As the years pass, I see a great Dixieland band forming up in the clouds. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
