Oh My God! My prayers go out to his children and his family. I cannot get over these senseless acts of hatred and whatever else drives people into thinking they have the right to take someone elses life. I was blessed enough to meet this talented young man promoting his CD a few years back in St. Pete. He was dedicated to his work. I’m sure he was dedicated to his family the same way. May God bless and keep them. The best thing they can do for themselves is to learn early to forgive. It helped me.
