I am so sorry to just hear about Thurman's death. I was away on vacation when it happen. He was a wonderful and very kind man. I enjoyed dancing with him for several years. He was always full of life and most of all, told me many times that he was ready to go to Heaven at any time when God said it was time to go. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved people and had many friends everywhere. We talked about all his trips to different places and looked forward to going again. I know he is in a better place but we all will miss him here on Earth. Condolences to all his wonderful family that he talked about often.
