Dee Pee Dave

It is with sadness that I bring word to our community of the passing of David Bond -- a member who is something of a legend here on this forum.

I would like to imagine the angels will laugh and cringe at the relentless wordplay between DeePee Dave and fellow forum mate Kentley.


Rest in Eternal Peace, Dave.

RIP DeePee, I already miss his humor and knowledge.

Thanks for gathering those together for us, Bob. Dave was an original, not unlike those NOS tubes of his. Definitely cut from the fabric of old stock, and always there with his unique, "fresh" take to crack us up. I greatly enjoyed his humour, and looked up to him as definitely one to go to for an opinion or his perspective.

I regret I hadn't taken the time to drive down and meet him in person -- he's only a few hours away. But I'm definitely better off for getting to know him through the forum and it's PM.

That's horrible news.
He was always very helpful. I'll miss his posts.

RIP. Really enjoyed his POV.

Dale, man, you said it! He's made a mark on many of us, here, I dare say, and it brings a tear to my eye to be saying "good nite" and good bye.

What a funny old world in which we can be moved by people we never actually met, though somehow, obviously, we really did.

Very sad. Dave was one of the kindest guys on this forum. Always willing to share/help. RIP Dave.

I began communicating with Dave off-list a few years ago.  One time I had not heard from him for a while, only to find out that he had shattered his wrist, made it hard to type.

It's nice to look back at his posts, thanks Bob for posting them. I looked over at his Facebook page, some funny stuff over there for sure!

Our house would not sound this good without his input, help & screaming deals on some great tubes!

We send our warmest condolences to his friends & family.

Sad news indeed, he was such an entertaining fellow, and so helpful to beginners, such as myself.

Wow. I bought my Vandersteen 5As from David in 2015. Still enjoying them - and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

One of my favorite posts, concerning the Weber WS1 ...stands out in my mind if only because for once we actually found ourselves in perfect agreement. ;-}

He will be missed.

Sad news.

Song of the day is Taps.

Sad loss on many levels.
Godspeed Dave

Rest In Peace!

Dave was a no BS guy, hard to find that these days in our new snowflakey society. See you on the other side.

jfine, I enjoyed reading your opinion on things tubes related! Start posting again! Sometimes it takes an extremely sad event....yadda yadda.....restart writing here!
