I was a student at Carlisle High School. He was an awesome teacher. Then, he was my guitar teacher. I learned so much from him. I´m heartbroken that he passed. I will always remember him with tremendous gratitude for all he did for me.

Hello, I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and rock in heaven.
I was 14 years old when I met him. He taught me to play guitar as well as many other children. I still play and it was you who inspired me. I Thank you from the bottom of heart and bless you.
