    So sorry for your loss. Dundee was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. He was a great man. He taught me many things in life that I carry with me to this day. He will be dearly missed.

    Anton was my guitar teacher some 45 years ago when I was just 8 years old. Nearly every time I pick up the guitar I think of him. I am happy that I was able to talk to him on the phone a earlier this year and thank him for his influence. It’s not often we get the opportunity to thank our mentors. Today I learned of his passing. I am saddened by the news and extend my condolences to his family for their loss. I will always remember Anton and will continue to think of him every time I play.

    I I I just learned of Amton’ passing. We often spoke over the phone. He taught me how to play the guitar when he taught at Clifton Rual High School in Clifton, Kansas. He will be deeply missed.
