In memory of my friend Tinker

I'll always remember the kind, sweet soul Tinker carried. My condolences to his family and friends.

I had the pleasure of being on the road with Tinker playing in a band in the early 80s traveling all over this country. He always made it fun and interesting, and a better guitarist and band mate I've never had. I hope Tinker has already found a few of his old band mates, Jere Freeman, Don Fakes, Philip Nivens, Michael Bilbrey and Terry Manners to name a few. I miss you Brother and I'll be seeing you! Keep an amp ready for me. This picture was made about 2 years ago during my last visit to Tennessee. Don Mowell, Tinker and I got to play together that night and it was just like old times!

Tinker loved all of us. He will be missed.

I will miss Tinker and I know his family will as well, I heard him tell his experience about finding the Lord how he prayed and asked the Lord to save him and I believe he is with him now. He always worried about sinning when we talked. Ephesians 1:13-14

King James Version

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

I always told him that we are all sinners saved by grace through faith. Be assured that God is with Tinker now. My prayers are with his family and friends. God bless!
