Not sure what to say?

Heather, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I know how close the two of you were. As you well know, I really enjoyed the band for many years. Your Dad will be greatly missed. Thinking of you.

I am simply shocked at learning this. I couldn't wait until the jug band would come back to Clifton's on a weekend night. A big part of that was the sheer talent of Mr. Fish. He was a great man and I will miss him dearly.

I'm just devastated to learn about "Fish". What a loss. He had a spirit about him that shone brightly. He will be so missed for so long. Ann Cottell Schatzinger

The greatest there was...We enjoyed his music and that of the Juggernaut Jug Band for many years since coming to Louisville. We will miss him dearly and we will keep him in our memory each and every time we continue to enjoy Jug Band music.

Uncle Steve...he was the best. He will be missed and already is verrrry much so. I wish you could have seen me play guitar Uncle Steve. I brought it for Thanksgiving. I'll always play it in memory of you. I love and miss you..just as much as everyone else.

I just heard about the passing of the Amazing Mr. Fish. What a wonderfully talented man, who brought so much joy to so many people in Louisville and beyond. My condolences to Heather and the rest of the Drury family and the JJB, and my sincerest thanks for letting the rest of the world share some time with him.

As sound man and fan since KY Music Weekend first started, I have always looked forward to Mr Fish, Roscoe Goose and all the fine members of the Juggernaut Jug Band (past and present) to come on the stage and " Blow away" any seriousness and reality that was around us at the time. They represented Louisville and Jug Band music in a way that will alway be remembered. One of my favorite memories was a time when a band who had just come off stage after an excellent set said " Let's see who...

Steve and I were high school classmates at Waggener. I remember spending Saturday afternoons listening to the early band practices. Not everyone is lucky enough to pursue their passion in life. I am so sorry for your loss, but his spirit lives on in all who knew him.

Alison, Paul Paletti telephoned me with the news of Steve's death. I have a friend who lives on Tyler and whenever I am in your neighborhood I think so fondly of Steve and you. You both were so welcoming. Paul told me he and Steve recounted that infamous dinner at Old Stone Inn. That night remains vivid in my memory because it was so bizarre. I am thinking of you and your children. Take care.
