I can remember Mr. Dusty as a child growing up. My Dad, the late Tyrone Taylor Sr and Mr. Dusty were coworkers and friends along side the late Mr. Vince Timmons Sr. I'm sure heaven is rejoicing as his old friends welcomed him in. Hold the memoires close to your heart. Sending my prayers and love to the family and friends of Mr. Dusty. May God comfort and keep you is my prayer.

I've known Dusty since 1989. He was a great person to work with. He loved to tease me.
You will be missed Dusty. God speed.
