I also growed up watching Possum Hollow Opery as family fave while on local TV. All round good family show. I also knew Ed Lawber, a good musician. My sympathy for family. Be proud of your legacy.

Many memories of rehearsals at my house for the "Possum Holler" show. Rest in peace my friend!

Dulce and family I´m so sorry for your loss. May god bless you.

Deepest sympathy to the entire family. I have fond memories Possum Holler Opry. All these years, although seeing the name around, I did not realize Toby Dick´s last name was actually Elsenpeter! It appears he has left a fine legacy! May God welcome Toby Dick Into the home he has made for us, bless you and give you strength & peace during this time of grief.

As a child, I would watch the Possum Hollow Opry with my dad. A very good friend of the family, Ed Lawber, played guitar on the show at different times. So sorry for your loss.
