There are various reasons as to why he left The Kingsmen. Some were made known. Some are private and do not need to be discussed. Some of those private reasons are also why he has not resurfaced in gospel music (aside from Hamill’s funeral).
I heard that he was driving charter buses at one time. But I really don’t know what he’s doing. I do know that the time that I knew him, he was a blessing to me. We had a lot of laughs, and he was very encouraging. I miss him, but I understand why we haven’t seen or heard from him since he left The Kingsmen.
The only thing that I can tell you is to just let it be. Maybe one day (Lord willing) we may get to hear from him again.
