Oh the joy of smiles and laughter and music did this man bring! It will be missed! Some people just make life a bit lighter, he did. I'd tease him calling him kooky koonce, we'd say how ya need a little fun, crazy, weird to make it in life! He had that. I never knew he was so much older than me, it never showed. Goes to show, we are the age our hearts want! May God comfort his loved ones and allow him a place in the music section of heaven, if there's such a place. 🎼😘🥀
