Title: sad news
Post by: 6G6 on January 22, 2014, 09:27:24 am

I mostly just work on my own amps.
Sometimes I find I am in over my head or just don't have the time.
When that happens, I have always taken them to James, AKA Tiny Daddy.

Yesterday, I went by there hoping for help on my BX1500.

That's when I found out that he died last year.  :sad2:
Cancer.   

He was a great guy.
Always knowlegible, thoughtfull, polite and interesting to talk to.
I will miss him.

Like most folks named Tiny, he was about 6'3" and near 300 pounds.  :l2:

I remember that name. Trying to remember the last time he posted. Sorry to hear that. Sometimes when someone hasn't posted in a long time, I wonder if something happened. Unless someone like 6G6 chimes in, we may never know. Thanks for letting us know! Platefire

Wow....  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in "stuff" I dont realize when someone has not posted in a while.  I also remember a great guy who always jumped in with good advice.  TD, you will be missed.  Sad news indeed.

My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends. Its always sad to hear of loosing someone special.  I`m sure he is basking in the warm glow of tube heaters and surrounded by ultimate tone.  Punky
