I was so sorry to hear late that Connie had died. meeting him always brought a smile to my face. His energy was contagious and his obvious love o0f family and friends filled the room I also remember Connie from the A and N days. What a wonderful melting pot for musicians and late night people. I have been blessed to get to know some of his family and I hope that they will know how much people like me took for granted that Connie would always be with us making the world a brighter place.

Connie was the rock of the family and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I had the privilege of knowing him for more than thirty years. He has now gone on to a much better place, God Rest His Soul.
