Good but left out recognition of his later band CPR

Warning: Spoilers
So I'm watching this the day after Croz has passed away at his home. I would've liked more complete information about his current life after he got out of prison, they mentioned that he got married, but not about his other's children... one remark about his daughter Donovan who doesn't talk to him, nothing about his other's daughter or even new son being born between him and Jan, nothing about the time that he worked with his other son Raymond in CPR and how they discovered each other when he was needing a liver transplant, and later worked together in the band . There was a bit of footage from that band never giving credit to the other bandmembers. I didn't appreciate the omission. Jeff Pevar should've been given credit for that film appearance, and so should of his son, James Raymond, who is also a wonderful musician, (and it's a wonderful story about how he reconnected with him -definitely documentary material). It would've been more well-rounded if he'd included that in this I look back at what it was like. What happened and what it's like now. Perhaps he wanted to give family more privacy with regard to his family life but he certainly didn't do that with his wife, so it felt out of balance, and it would've been nice, especially now that he's passed to have heard in his own words his story about when his son was born -I've heard some of his live concert tracks with CPR where he talks about that, for example, so I was sad that was left out of this documentary. He also was a donor father for Melissa Etheridge's children, which is public knowledge, and I was sorry that didn't get included in the doc. I wonder if one might be made now posthumously with some of those missing interviews with people that were part of his home life during his final years. It's said that one of the children recently died of an overdose. Of course, that happened after the dock was made Addiction and genetics-- sad. Except for missing that content I mentioned it was a wonderful collage of stills and video clips and music and memories. May his soul rest in peace, and his memory be a blessing and hopefully he and Morrison have made their peace on the other side of the veil.
