Remembering Daddy

I never met Guy Fawkes, but I am grateful for this forum and feel indebted to him for creating it. Sharing insights and experiences here with others makes me feel less lonely.

Although Guy Fawkes did a great service by keeping this site alive, I believe it was "Hooboy" who had the original idea to create the site, with help from various internet-savvy guys he knew. 

Hooboy died unexpectedly while vacationing in Thailand.  He was a radio commentator and had a radio show in Hawaii.  

Although Hooboy had the idea of creating the site, it was Guy Fawkes who spent an enormous amount of time over the years keeping the site alive. 

Fortunately, for forum members, RadioRob came to the rescue of the site after the death of Guy Fawkes and has kept this site going with many improvements.

I found this site when Hooboy was running it, and I met Daddy on a number of occasions after he took it over. I am grateful to both of them, and to those who have kept it going strong since Daddy's demise, because in my old age, it is pretty much the only connection I still have to the gay world of which I once considered myself an active part.  May they and other contributors who have have left the Company of Men rest in peace.
