My condolences to family of Joe Redding. One of my first jobs was working for Joe in the hayfield in Oakwood, Texas.   He was one of a kind.
I wasn’t aware of Joe Waynes’a passing until today, and I am so sorry for the loss of a fine man. My Daddy, the other Joe Redding, spoke to me fondly of him when I was a kid. I know you will miss him, but, hopefully, you can be comforted knowing he was admired by many.
