RIP Billy Todd

Dixie Echoes pianist Stewart Varnado sent out a newsletter saying this:

It is with a heavy heart that I write this email to let you know that my friend
and former Florida Boys & Dixie Echoes bass singer, Billy Todd, passed away
this morning (November 30th), after a long battle against alzheimers.

Arrangements are still pending. They will be available at www.singingnews.com once
they have been finalized.

I have just uploaded a "Remembering Billy Todd" page on our website: www.dixieechoes.com
that consists of a brief biography along with many pictures of Billy throughout
the years.

Please keep the Todd family in your prayers.

God Bless you all!

This is sad news; I enjoy hearing Todd sing on old Florida Boys projects. However, we all know he's not suffering anymore.
I encourage you to check out the tribute on the Dixie Echoes website and I echo (no pun intended) Stewart in saying to pray for the Todd family.

I was shocked to read this! Billy Todd is an awesome bass singer! I have had the opportunity to see and hear him live in concert once with the Dixie Echoes.

God Bless the Todd family!
