Though he is gone, he will never be forgotten. He was lead singer of a local Houston band. He didn't really talk so much about his occupation rather than the busy life he lead. He was a sweet, intelligent man. We will miss him always, but we know now that we need to stay strong for the rest of our family. He was born on December 16, 1962
