Byrne will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially his family. Greatfully, we know that Byrne has moved on to a better place and that we can be with him again. What a blessing

It is a blessing to have experienced the friendship of Byrne and his dear Jean at the Autry. This brings my deepest sympathy to Jean and to Byrne's family together with my gratitude that the Autry brought Byrne and Jean into my life.
