Herschel L. Sizemore

Herschel and I traveled many miles while playing with Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice. Herschel was a great friend to me on so many levels! When I had my gallbladder removed, Herschel called me every day for two weeks while I recovered. He was a fantastic Master of the mandolin and is responsible for many of our current crop of great players. My prayers are with Joyce, Lee and the rest of the family. Herschel will be remembered as one of the best to ever play the mandolin in bluegrass music! Rest easy my friend.....

Joyce, I am so very sorry! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

So sad to hear this. Herschel was special. We met through a mutual friend C.E. Ward when I was 16. We later taught together at several music camps over the years and played many of the same Bluegrass festivals. I will miss him. Unfortunately I can´t attend the service due to eye surgery this week. My deepest condolences to Joyce and the family.
