I knew Trent from the Kings of Swing. We worked well together, he on drums and I on bass. He always asked after my health, and I enjoyed knowing him.

It was a distinct honor to know Trent as he was the epitome of class. Although a distinguished, articulate gentlemen of the highest order, he was so low-key that few knew they were dealing with a true WW II combat hero...one sent to northern France only weeks out-of-high school, landing days after D-Day, with Berlin being his next destination! I greatly valued our friendship, will particularly miss our political banterings and, sadly, extend Cathy's & my deepest sympathies to his family.

I first played with Trent in the Five Star Premier Band and the Good Time Gang. He subsequently recruited me to play with The Kings Of Swing. He was my source of inspiration and encouragement and a class act.

I knew Trent as a drummer, and a great one! We had a short run of five or so years together with the Kings of Swing playing at the Plano Senior Center. I had no idea of his age until a couple of years ago and noticed he was a day older than my mother. I certainly had no idea he was in a health situation. Not at all. Very surprised to hear the news. After he retired from the band, we recently talked about getting together to play again.... Miss you Trent.
