| Very Sad To hear of Whitt's passing.He was a real friend to me. We made a lot deals with steel guitars. Whitt was also the owner of a couple of Harley Davidson dealer ships. so we also had that in common. we use to go out to eat all the time. I will miss him so much he was just a great guy to know and be friends with. May he rest in peace! |

| You're right Chuck. He was tied at the hip to Buddy and he always treated everyone else with respect as well. Had not seen him in quite a while but always enjoyed his conversations. Rest in peace Whitt! |

Sure sorry to hear this news. Whitt was a great guy. I just found a Whitt's Harley Davidson shop T shirt the other day and was thinking of him. I hadn't seen him since we ran into each other at a Merle Haggard show back in the mid '90's.
May he and Buddy C. both rest in peace.

Sorry to hear this Chuck. I remember Whitt when he flew up here to Washington, PA with you to that first steel jam I had back in '03 or '04. Nice guy, I'm sure he will be missed.
