It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved brother, Paul (Morry) Bettini, on February 13th in Fairhope, AL, after a brief illness.

He was a talented musician who spent much of his life performing and traveling throughout the states. Part of his musical career included working with The Four Guys in Nashville, Hank Williams, Jr. at the Grand Ole Opry, and Sam Bettini’s Big Band.
