This news breaks my heart. No one loved life more than Red. And he knew how to make the most of every day. I love you my friend, and I will miss you so much! There is a new Entertainer of the Year in heaven today.
Rest in peace my friend,

WoW. I just saw Red in St. Louis in September. I told him how he was singing better than ever. He was having a great time and was so determined to be at the Steel show. He seemed to be getting along so well. So Sorry to hear this. |

So Sorry to hear of this. I also saw Red in St. Louis, and he was extremely happy and enjoying himself. He was very confident that he was on the road to complete recovery. My condolences to Linda and the rest of the family. The steel shows have lost another great contributor to its lineup.
Rest in Peace Red, and I am glad to have known you.
