My Friend Gordon Waller

My Friends,
Sadly, I have just been told of the passing of my good friend Gordon Waller. Gordon and I met in the late sixties and even though we lived in different parts of the world most of the time, we stayed friends throughout the years. Every time we got together, we always ended up playing and singing songs and having a laugh over the good times and all the trouble we got into over the years.
When I decided to begin touring again in 2004, he offered me encouragement and support. Gordon was like that, rough around the edges, but always trying to help out.
I always thought that Gordon was a very talented artiste and an excellent singer. He was a special person in his own way. It is a comfort to me to know that in the past few years he had found happiness in his personal life and that he and Peter had begun performing again. I always felt that these were the things that were such a big part of him.
When Cynthia and I were able to see Gordon and Peter in concert in Santa Monica, California last year, little did I know that it would be the last time I would see my old friend.
I know I’m not alone in saying that Gordon will be missed, but we each have our own memories of him, I have mine. I will miss you my Ol’ Buddie.
