David

 
Posted by Picasa

It hasn’t been a matter of “if” but “when” and when is now. David Enloe has been my best friend and brother since the 4th Grade. We were born the same day, Christmas Day 1956. We had our first band together (just the 2 of us) called Rooster in high school and later in college along with Jack and Debra we started The Fabulous Knobs. That band lasted 6 years and after that we, David, Jack, Dan and me were The Woodpeckers for a year and then without Dan, TheWoods for about 8 years. Every band that I’ve ever been in and cared about, except for The OakTeam and The Yayhoos, David was in. We always lived by the credo “Take a Damn Drank!” and many were consumed in our days together. But every once in a while you gotta “Take a Damn Break!” and David couldn’t do that, even with the disease that he had that DEMANDED him to stop! Trips to rehab didn’t help. It only gave his liver brief relief. Now he is in very grave condition and all we can do is pray...or at least sing a little song for him.

Jesus is on that mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on the mainline
Tell him what you want
Jesus is on the mainline
Tell him what you want
You just call him up and tell him what you want

No the line ain’t never busy
Tell him what you want
No the line ain’t never busy
Tell him what you want
No the line ain’t never busy
Tell him what you want
You just call him up and tell him what you want

Well if you’re sick and you want to get well
Tell him what you want
Well if you’re sick and you want to get well
Tell him what you want
Yeah if you’re sick and you want to get well
Tell him what you want
You just call him up and tell him what you want

TA,

Very sad to hear this news. I had gathered that Enloe was not doing well for some time, hate to see that he has taken a turn for the worse.

Please let us know if there is anything that we can do, you name it and you got it.

Best wishes,

Joey -n- Alicia

Brother,

The subtle truth is; It's a matter of when for all of us.

Hug your kids and parents if you still got em.

To quote the late great Kirby Puckett (centerfielder extraordinare, Minn. Twins R.I.P) "None of us is garunteed tomorrow."

Prayers and best wishes from the Andres family ~
