Hi, Walter. I am very sorry for this loss in your life... Nothing could fill such a hole, but I really hope that by now, those moments you had together make you smile, rather then cry. Life was not designed to be infinite and the only think that really matters is if the person who lived it did so to the fullest extent. And given the story you told, I'm certain your son lived it rocking.

Beyond sad hearing we lost Billy Joe. What a great songwriter. He could say with ten words what everybody else would use 25 words to say. He could craft a song so well. Texas has produced a ton of talented singer / songwriters but Billy Joe Shaver most definitely the top of the heap. Trust me that is saying a lot about him because those others are not the least bit slouches by any measure. The world just lost a treasure for sure.
