Fern, our deepest sympathies to you and your family … I was devastated to hear of this, he’ll be sorely missed, he was much more than musically inspiring to me, but “Baby” was a long time family friend. I was honored to have shared the stage with him (The Inner Circle). I’m certain God has graced his sole! … May Peace Be Upon Him and You’ all.
