Our good friend Arnie Dresselhaus passed away Saturday, November 14th. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his faimly and loving wife, Shannon at the unexpected loss of her beloved husband and best friend.
Shannon and Arnie previously were the leaders of the Band Wagon band, of which Lynn Stafford was a long-time member, until late summer 2008 when Shannon and Arnie decided to take a break from the rigors of running a band. They were anxious to relax and enjoy time with each other after they had finished the bulk of the remodeling on their home in St. Helens, Oregon.
Crossfire Band was formed, based on this decision – and we are grateful for their launching us forward.
The photo you see is from the Kathy and Lynn Stafford's wedding reception, and is a true representation of Arnie, always smiling and friendly. Arnie will be dearly missed by all who have known him.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, on behalf of Shannon and the Dresselhaus family.
Lynn and Kathy Stafford |

My Prayers for Shannon and his family. I've known them for a long time, and they attended the last SG gathering here, last year. He was always enthusiastic about his love for Pedal Steel Guitar, and they played a LOT of music around here.

I was hangin' and shooting the breeze with those guys at a St. Helens summer concert series event, seems like just a few weeks ago (Sept).
So sorry to hear of this. My best to his family.
Yes, that picture says it all! |
