Met him at CES 2001 and wound up using two of his PCs as part of a
four-month exploration of six models I auditioned for TAS.We'd talk regularly on the phone (and at industry gatherings) thereafter,
and he'd never fail to ask about my bride, her mother, our grandkids
... you get the picture. Ever-ready with a cup of great joe at shows
and always willing to share his knowledge and good spirit with those
who appreciate such things. I, one among many, do, and will miss him.
One of a kind, for sure. I know Marcia will cry when I get home tonight
and tell her ... she and he made quite a pair, throwing Texas-isms around
at the only CES she attended. Since then, she'd always wonder why the
rest of us audistics weren't as much fun, or as friendly and good-natured, as
"that big guy from Texas."
