So very sorry for your loss. Joe and Susan (Chastain) Kay
I only knew him as Tilford. Onstage, he was larger than life, a magnetic and compelling performer, true right down to his boots. As a friend, he was so kind, generous and intelligent. I wish his family, especially his parents, some way to find peace. I know what a vacuum will be left in your lives. I just hope you know how much your son and brother was admired by the music community.
I never knew him but he was my 2nd cousin.
We so sorry Your loss. Joe and Kathy Adams
