My condolences to Gavin's family. He and I were freshmen roommates at Sewanee in 1970-71. Gavin visited my family in Tallahassee, FL while the University Chorus was touring during spring break.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Sweet Spirit was a favorite gospel quartet that I enjoyed for several years. Prayers.
