Not sure what to say?

Great guy and pleasure to work with.

A great musician and nice to be with! I engineered his solo records at trod Nossel studio.

I just learned of Red having passed today. Red would bring is his old Gibson tenor guitar in for repairs many times determined to keep the Dearmond pickup working. He loved to perform.

Mrs. Balaban,
Sorry for your loss. That's a long partnership you shared.
I think of you from time to time and how kind you were to me during my NHS days.
Be well,
Loretta Meyer

So sorry for your loss.

My sincerest condolences. Micki, you know he's still playing and singing......

Steve, Kyle and Family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Dad. By his obituary, he really had an active and interesting life.
Warmest regards,
Don

Since 1986, it has been a wonderful experience to know Red and Micki. They came to my home to buy two Ebony Oriental Shorthairs, Harry and Elmer, litter mates. Lenny was wearing his fishing jacket so the kittens loved him at first site!!! I have many memories over the years of these dear friends. I still enjoy listening to Lenny's CD"S. Love, Natalie Rawls

Thoughts and prayers for the family. May your memories last forever!
