Not sure what to say?

Rest In Peace my dear cousin, I miss you cuz.

The havenly choir will bé a bit better now that OBREY has joined.

A giant in spirit who was loved by many and who unselfishly gave to others. The tributes posted show how many, many lives he lovingly touched.

As the days, months and years pass, the fondest and sweetest of memories of Obrey will remain in our hearts.

May the family be comforted to know that many prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Obrey had a tremendous voice, I recall his high school singing group the blenders. Be at peace!

With sincerest sympathy,

Obrey played for our church choir I really enjoyed his love musis and his ability to teach us. I pray God speed to the family . He will truly be missed.

I met Obrey back in the 70's when I was into music ar school. He was such an inspiration to me and so many others. He wiil be missed terribly. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. He was one of a kind!
