Offstage, life tested him even harder. Multiple sclerosis tried to steal his body, but never his resolve. He had already worn the uniform of a soldier, the mantle of a bandleader, and the responsibility of a patriarch.

Thirty grandchildren and five great-grandchildren now carry his name, his music, and his quiet, stubborn courage forward.
