Does anyone know if Buddy was laid to rest or if he was cremated? Is there a memorial anywhere?

I sure wish I could have heard Wayne Perform. The posts on this forum spoke highly of him and his talent.

Is there a marker for Buddy somewhere? Someday, I'd like to pay my respects.

Someone may have different information, but I was told by someone in Nashville who had direct contact with Buddy’s kids that he was cremated and the ashes scattered along with Peggy’s in an undisclosed location. I certainly don’t want to start the rumor mill to running but the question has come up a couple times so figured I’d chime in with what I was told.

I am so glad to see all of these Golden Age of Steel Guitar Players be included on the Steel Guitar Forum website. These Guys were all stylists and innovators. They paved the way for all of us who love Steel Guitar!

Ralph Mooney was one of coolest Steel players that I ever met. Loved his style or approach to the Steel Guitar, but he was such a genuine just Good Guy. He had a down to earth, everyday approach to people and just a Good man! I miss these Great Steel Guitarists!
