To the Houston family. Irene & I send our deepest condolences. Buddy brought back many good memories for me in my teenage years. Many weekends were spent playing music at house parties with the Chevrefils, and too many more musicians to mention. Those were good times, with good clean fun. The last occasion I had to meet Buddy again was Oct 2004 at mom's service. Buddy as always, was there with his guitar to accompany my brother and sisters for a song requested by mom. For that we were forever grateful. Buddy my friend, you are in Heaven with those who have gone before us, playing your wonderful music. I have a saying. Music Wipes Away From The Soul, The Dust Of Every Day Life. I, can attest to that. Play On my Friend and God Bless. - Posted by: Henry Pelland 100 Mile House, BC (Friend) on: Sep 13, 2012
