Pete H Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 So sorry that I didn't get an opportunity to meet him, but his replies to post were always kind and helpful and it's obvious that he was highly regarded by those that knew him well. Safe travels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEC Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sitting here in my shop tonight testing out a new pair of speakers I have just finished building today. Over the years, many times Dee would come up here to listen to whatever new speakers there might be in the shop. He always wanted to hear "Soolaimon" by Neil Diamond. Playing that for you now on this new set of speakers Dee. Bob Crites 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh man...he wasn't too far from me apparently. So sorry to hear of his passing. As mentioned earlier, this is the part I dislike about getting older and, it's like my grandparents used to say. "you know when you're getting older when you attend more funerals than birthday parties". My condolences to the family. R.I.P. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is sad news and my condolences to those who were fortunate to spend time in the flesh with DaddyDee. I've met him on a couple of occasions but only spoke briefly in person because he always had a following...That said, I really enjoyed my MANY conversations with him online and most seemed to be on topics that had nothing to do with speakers....RIP my friend and I will miss you reminding people the value of their lives by traveling around the sun on any given year.

JL Sargent Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 He always wanted to hear "Soolaimon" by Neil Diamond. And perfectly appropriate it is too. Thanks for sharing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyhambone Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Sitting here in my shop tonight testing out a new pair of speakers I have just finished building today.

Playing that for you now on this new set of speakers Dee. Bob Crites What Neil had to say about this song: "Originally written for an extended piece ('The African Trilogy'), 'Soolaimon' took on a life of its own when it was presented to a live audience. The title is meant to be a variation of the word 'Salamah' meaning, 'Hello' and 'Welcome' as well as 'Good-bye' and Peace be with you,' in many languages." Peace be with YOU Dee!!!

Seadog Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Condolences to Tony, his family and other friends. I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Dee, and as other have said, he was truly one of the nicest and genuine people I have ever met. It's hard to think we will not be seeing Dee again at some future Pilgrimage. Very sad indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
