Didn’t he just do a farewell tour? Regardless, RIP!

________________________________________________

He did!

There’s video out there on the webz. He could not remember the words to the songs. He had no clue what city he was in. And half the time, he could not remember his wife or kid’s names.

But he never forgot how to play a guitar.

Funny (yet cruel) how Alzheimer’s works.

True Grit is my all time favorite movie. I can quote nearly every line.

Some music great; Johnny Cash maybe, said that Glenn Campbell the man, is the greatest combination of talent God ever put together in one person. He played several instruments superbly, besides his singing and arranging, etc. And he was modest and self-effacing with it. The best part is, I believe Glenn knew Christ as his Savior, so I look forward to hearing him again, in person, someday.

The real men are leaving us in droves in the Entertainment world. Soon, we’ll only be left with pajama boys. God help us.

Rest in peace, Mr. Campbell. Thank you and Jimmy Webb for “Wichita Lineman”.

“Lawyer Daggett, Lawyer Daggett, who is this famous pleader I was happily ignorant of 5 minutes ago?”

(I don’t think that quote is quite right but to play fairly, I didn’t look it up)

Today Glen is back to being himself, and that’s something to be happy for.

RIP Glen. One of a kind. We will never see your like again. Very sad news.

Sad news but yes, we knew it was coming. He travelled the dark road of Alzheimer's for a long time and his suffering is over now. May he rest in peace.

My step-brother wrote a song a couple of years ago dedicated to Glen and others who are dealing with this dreadful disease.

Doug Bossi & Echo Circle - 12th Of Never

You can remember again, Glen.
