An old guitar hero of mine passed away last Friday, I used to love him in the early days of Late Night with David Letterman (from it’s inception ’til 1984) where he never wore shoes and always looked comfortable with “The World’s Most Dangerous Band“, so long Hiram Bullock.

“Hesther and Toni Engressia have a request in memory of Joybubbles, formally Joseph Engressia. The family request Sympathy Cards sent to them if anyone has fond memories of the life of Joybubbles.”
The address is:
