Not sure what to say?

Iam so sorry to hear of Don's passing ,he was a great coach ,a great human ,he will be missed My thoughts are with you Jeffery and Melissa and family .

Whenever I saw Spud at one of the "Big Red Barn" music jams I could count on three things: (1) he would remind me my car inspection was overdue (2) he would have an epic new joke to share (3) he would show me how a giant smile was all it takes to make you feel special. Cheers to you Spud up there In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (aka "In The Garden Of Life")!

I first met Spuds at the Big Red Barn (Southwick Florist) music Jams. Right away, I felt at ease with his mild and up-front, no-frills character, and a character he was. Spuds could give a joke & take a joke, always happy to help with handling the musical equipment. But most of all, Spuds, with that deep, bass voice would sing for us. His favorite songs were, Comfortably Numb & Roadhouse Blues, jokingly would ask us to play Inagodadavida, so funny. Spuds will be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Steve and Family. I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your brother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sailor, rest you oar, we your Brethren have the deck and the conn. Smooth sailing and calm seas.

So very sorry for your family's loss
