Wow, Doug West perform at my retirement party in 2010. The next day, everyone wanted to know, who was that Jazz singer that turned the house out. You will definitely be missed, I know you are performing in heaven now.

I just heard of your passing Dwight. You were one of my first students at Essex County College, in the early 70's. Your smile and voice are in my heart always. Love.

So very Sorry to hear about the passing of my extremely talented and charismatic cousin. I wish our lives were as such that we were close. I regret that. RIP Cuzzo.
