“He was also a close associate of Herb Alpert with whom he worked for many years until the time of his death. He taught at the LA Academy of Music where he was also Vice President, Director of Education and Dean of Students. He was also a professor at the Herb Alpert School of Music, pagpapatuloy ng singer.
Humingi rin ng privacy si Katrina habang kasalukuyang nagluluksa sa pagkamatay ng asawa.
“Prayers for the repose of his soul are most appreciated and I would like to request for privacy during this difficult time. Thank you,” dagdag pa ni Katrina.
