As I get older the reality of mortality becomes very apparent, and the news of " Smokes " passing hurts my soul. As children we think our parents will live forever, and unfortunently our super heros found heaven first. " Smoke", was the most decent, mellow, interesting man, and above all a " Jack of all Trades." I love you Smoke. You were a second " daddy " to me. Keep rockin, and singing ol' Willie. All my love to the family, and missing you dearly. Remember Smoke, my daddys up there too, so say hi for me.
