He loved preforming there, but his health kept him from doing it more. <br /><br />I met the stage director and some of the performers at the service. She had some good things to say about him and I wish I had time to talk to her, but I couldn't. <br /><br />The problem in the black comminity is there isn't any influences at all positive or negative and that where you get people looting and destroying their own hood. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the kind words NickSemajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654310724397596493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767841.post-60647948057255085102015-05-13T21:48:27.693-04:002015-05-13T21:48:27.693-04:00I am so sorry to hear this. I remember how proud ...I am so sorry to hear this. I remember how proud you were of him. Honestly, it's even sad how many times I've had to correct people who have told me that black people admire the wrong people and I've had to say, "My friend James almost only has pride in his uncle, who is an amazing person. That community is really lucky to have them."<br /><br />Anyway, I know one of the best shows that me and Freya have been to was the Stephen Foster Story about two years ago (I guess your uncle would have been working then?) But even if he wasn't, I am so glad you had such a positive influence in your life. Even when I look at my influences, few of them have any blood relation to me. You were truly blessed. I understand you are missing a major influential person in your life. And I am saddened just hearing that.<br /><br />Feel free to contact me if you need to. I offer my condolences .<br /><br />- NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10767841.post-49189293591133148372015-05-10T01:43:28.557-04:002015-05-10T01:43:28.557-04:00thanks for the support.
