"Pee Wee Erwin was one of those rare people who was liked by everybody. He was a musical prodigy, unusually self-disciplined but without question an exceptionally talented boy. During his long and distinguished career as a professional trumpet player, he was in constant demand by the foremost bandleaders and conductors in radio, the movies, recordings, TV, and stage shows and was active in every phase of the music business. For the most part, music was good to him. He gave it all he had, and in return his name has to be considered among the great ones--not only as a musician, but as a fine human being."
