Fine gentleman! Sorry to hear this.. Prayers to the family¡ I’m sure he will be missed. Years ago (1993) he took me under his wing and got me started on the guitar! A profession I would enjoy to this date! He was a great guitar player.. Godspeed Aaron!
Tricia, I am so very sorry for your loss. I shall keep Aaron, you and your family in my prayers. God bless each of you.
