I met Bunny through Gordon Smith after coming to support Gordon/Rubberlegs at a gig in 2002. I have been lucky to share the stage with Rubberlegs on some wonderful occasions. Bunny was always very supportive, happy, and well, radiant. He was in his element, that of music, and always had a glow, an energy or vitality that was very contagious. I am deeply saddened by his passing and the loss of his presence in the GLBT music community will sting for quite sometime. Bunny was very supportive of my music and my (lyric) writing, so this is for Bunny...I/We miss you!
Yours was a generous smile
And your arms always open wide
Filled with a music
Whose rhythms you did ride
Always supportive & sincere
A true rare gentle man
Now called home to rock
In Heaven's greatest celestial band
Though brief our encounters
And moments equally too few
I felt a special connection
I found a new friend when I met you
The people you have touched
In your own special way
Are missing you so much
Each second of each minute of each and every day
Tears roll down as memories unlock and begin to rewind
To moments and words shared with many
That were gracious, honest, & kind
Too often we get lost in the pursuit of the dream
To stop and take in scene after scene
But you were of each moment from beginning to end
Even at the expense of worrying your closest friend
Now we feel your absence and it's sadness that we fight
We hold you close in thought, because you are now out of sight
We will draw memories close so you are truly never far
Bunny, we gaze up, remember, love and lift
As we look to you, Heaven's newest star
Shine on...
