Rest in Peace by dear friend. I was lucky enough to have you in my life and you made my childhood happy, joyful and fun. You and Barry always made me laugh. I know that you are making all the angels laugh and you are now singing with them. Landon and Peggy words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.

I'm really sorry. I remember JoJo when he was a teeny kid and I was in a band with his father. 49 is just too young.
