The dance community lost another dancer this summer.

The ballroom dance community lost a true gentleman and great dancer, who was a perfect example of what a dancer should be, and the Dixieland Jazz community lost one of it’s most avid supporters, when Rowland G Byerly passed on October 6, 2022. He was born February 2, 1934 (so 88 years young). He was a gift to the dance and jazz groups. He was very generous, kind, friendly and had a positive impact on dances and dancers around the valley. He’s already missed by so many of us. His family has no desire to have any kind of funeral or Celebration of Life. There will probably be something done here in AZ, by some of his friends, at some time in the future. I’ll keep you informed. Condolences can be sent to Jeanette Winkel 11058 E.
