What can be said that hasn't already been said by so many who knew and loved Dawg? The fact that he touched so many people in the way he did, speaks volumes for the kind of person he'll be remembered as. Kind, warm, friendly, mentor, funny, and talented are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Dawg.

Though I never met him face to face, we talked several times in chat rooms, on IM, and even voice chat. He was someone I respected and admired. I always got the impression that he was looking out for me. I remember the first time I "met" him on line, he had sent me an email to caution me about a writer in Nashville I was working with. Seemed he knew, or knew of, just about everyone!

One of the last conversations I had with Dawg on voice chat still tickles me whenever I think about it. I said, "How do you know so much and so many people?" In typical Dawg style, he paused a bit, and proceeded with, "Well, Tim...I'm old!" We both laughed, and while it may have been true, I thought to myself, "You may call it old, but I call it wise." Dawg was wise, and someone that I learned alot from when it comes to the craft of songwriting.

I'll miss the ol' Dawg. Being a former resident of my homestate, we shared some stories about his old stomping grounds, which are my current stomping grounds. Seems he spent some time at Lake Anna and in the Goochland area, all of which surrounds the county I call home.

Our loss is Heaven's gain, and if I know Dawg, I'm sure he's already penned a few lyrics since reaching his new home. The good thing is, now he has a band of angels adding the music to his words...

Bobbie...I know you are hurting, but in your time of need, look up and know Corky is looking down, and will always be with you.

Until the two of you meet again, may God bring you comfort and peace.
