George,Lynette & Toey
My heartfelt condolances go out to you all at this time of your breavement. Always remember the good times and the lessons learned and shared with your Dad. I'll always remember him as a jazz officionado. He was the one who first introduced me to the real jazz masters; Miles, Coltrane and Monk. For that I will always be thankful.
K.O. rest in peace, my brother.
