"We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time. From his heart to your souls…don’t ever stop rocking!"

Another CSB. One of my GCs I work with had a project manager who grew up in Dallas. His mom was a teacher in HS and one of her students was Meatloaf. I don’t believe he ever met Meatloaf or anything but I guess Meatloaf was fond of his mom and would occasionally go by to see her when she had to go into an old folks home later in life. Pretty cool. By all accounts he was a very down to earth person.

I know the name obviously. Heard that one song, but never anything else.

RIP

Also, I really like the dish he was named after. If he was half as good, he’s a legend I’m sure.
