The Baritone!



1901 - 1967

1903 – 1965

Thanks for…

….the magic

….the music

….the movies

….and the memories!

The magic could never be defined. It just was…every time you two were together. We see it in the movies you left us….and hear it in the music that was your precious legacy to the world. The memories are also here to share with those who never knew you. Many of those who knew you in those golden days have now joined you but they left us with their memories to pass on for a new generation to cherish.

The music…



Ah, Sweet Mystery of Love (duet)



Will You Remember? (duet)



Through the Years (Nelson)

…and so much more!
