Hi Del,
As I sat here thinking about what could I say about this latest overwelming revelation. There is really nothing to say. Except, that they are in a better place. No more pain, no more suffering, with the challenges of this life. Bishop Henry Wayne White, was my friend of 58 years, now gone, and now "The teacher," Felton Williams Jr. My lifetime mentor of all of my 62 years of knowledge concerning not only this life in general, but of my musical knowlege as well. My heart is truly heavy at this time. May God give them rest, and my prayers are there for our "Sacred Steel Family", in the loss of these truly great musicians, as well as men of God. Thanks Del, for your revelation of their transitions from this life.
Bishop Ronnie P. Hall
