And to think, I spoke with him just last month by 'phone....& he told me he was in "dreadful shape" & "utterly unwell..." I usually called him when TCM was showing a movie in which his father was starred. Guess I should have sent him some flowers THEN!!! He was always a warm supporter of my gigs at piano bars in the Los Angeles area. Peace & love, Houston Allred
