Burnell Groft

Post by Dennis Stambaugh »

Burnell Groft of Hanover, PA passed away on Wednesday Nov.4 at the age of 91 after a short illness. Burnell had been a barber for years in Hanover PA but his true love was playing steel guitar in many local classic country music bands in south central Penna.. northern Md. area. A true talent for sure and will be surely missed.

Sorry to hear about Burnell. Met him 5 years ago when I was down in Hanover to pick up a guitar on the way to a medical appt in Baltimore. Had a good chance to chat, He definitely loved steel guitar. RIP.

Very sorry to hear about Burnell's passing. I didn't know him well, but our paths crossed several times over the years. Seemed like a nice guy and yes, I know he loved steel guitar. RIP

RIP Burnell. I met Burnell about 20 years ago. Jammed with him at his house and later at a Jam at Wes Dunn's in Wellsville.
