Not sure what to say?

Creighton was a consummate professional and friend in every way. He was our sound man at our last gig of the year in 1983 at the ROX-Z in Fort Worth - and counseled me after this disastrous gig. I worked with him on almost every Cavalcade of Stars gig we did in the 1990s, and I hired him for a number of our own gigs as well. The last time I ran into him was at an Albertson's in Casa Linda on December 23rd in 2014. It was great seeing him, and we promised to stay in touch. He was a gentle...

I suppose I am too late. He and I sand together in Cavalcade of Stars. He helped me with tracks and taught me to chord my songs. I am so sorry that I did not know. Please accept me apology. He will be missed.

My husband John and I spent many wonderful years skydiving with Creighton, he was one of our closest friends during those fun years. We did not know until today that he had passed away. RIP sweet boy.

George and I are so saddened to learn of Creighton's untimely passing. I was fortunate to sing with Dave Tapley's Cavalcade for 11 1/2 years and Creighton always handled the sound. Not only was he the best at making any band or singer sound great, he was also a very kind and giving person. He always had a smile and a wonderful demeanor. He will be missed.

Had not seen Creighton in ages. We were in a band called Crossfire,(mid-late 70s), when he was 19/20. Whiz of a guitarist, youngest in the band by 4-6 yrs. Him and Dave Bronstad made sweet music together. RIP Boy Wonder!!
