Aubrey was a dear friend of mine as we both worked at Hunter Industries, Cary, NC, in the mid 90s. I still have the cassette tape of "New Age" recordings that he gave me. I remember him as an absolutely FABULOUS human being!
Rest In Peace, my long lost friend.

Karen, I'm so sorry that Aubrey has moved on. As you know, he was one of the first people I met in Raleigh and I loved him as a brother. He was truly a dedicated family man. We have lost the best adorable teddy bear ever.
