Feb 27 Maynard’s wife, Flo, passes away.
Dear Friends and Fans of Maynard,
Thank you for your thoughts for Maynard and our family. Our mother’s passing, while a sad occasion, was painless and we are thankful that Maynard was home to be with her to the end. Maynard and Flo had a wonderful marriage together for five decades. They were an inspiration to us all in their devotion and love for each other. Flo was a fiery spirit who kept Maynard entertained and happy. Many of their adventures together took them to exotic places. They fell in love with India – its music, colors, smells, and spirituality. It influenced his music and their lives.
As per Flo’s wishes, there will not be any services beyond immediate family. For those of you asking what you might be able to do or send after the loss of Flo, the family is requesting donations be sent to the Seva Foundation – www.seva.org. Seva is active in India as well as many other countries around the globe doing much for very little.
“Seva is a donor-supported non-profit foundation building partnerships to respond to locally defined problems with culturally sustainable solutions throughout the world.”Thank you again for your thoughts during this time.
