Well, it didn't allow for fights over his money and possessions.

He did give one thing to each of us grandkids. I got his shotgun that he bought from my other grandfather in 1966.

What did they do with the proceeds?

Whaddaya mean? Everything was sold in an auction. The kids had to bid on things they wanted.

The auction would've generated money from the items sold. Just curious what he directed them to do with those funds.

I need to ask my uncle about that. I'm sure it was a charity thing but I'm not sure.

Mike Campbell and Stan Lynch on Their Surprise Heartbreakers Reunion

They finally met up a few months ago at Campbell’s Los Angeles home studio he calls Knobville. It was their first face-to-face encounter in 20 years, and they had a chat before playing much music together. “We apologized to each other for being assholes and young and stupid,” says Campbell. “We got beyond it. I found out he’s turned out to be quite a gentleman and a real brother to me.”
