I go this morning for my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. With that said, I'll sadly miss the gathering, as I'm trying to stay safe until I've had both shots. Everyone have a great time in PS!

Thank you for everything you did for so many of us over the years, Daddy. RIP, and know that you'll be missed by all who had the good luck to interact with you.

Been on PrEP for several years. I'm a top and prefer bare. I discuss it beforehand and if the bottom wants it wrapped, I decide whether or not to meet up. It's not really up for debate, the two or more people involved decide what they want to do with their bodies.
 
PrEP is something I take to protect me, not something I use to convince someone else to go bare. When I hook up with a guy who isn't on it, I send him the link where to get it for free and they treat STDs for free too. Helpcentertx.org

Been on prep now for 5 years, no condom use since.
 
Every 3 months I get my tests, in the past 5 years I've gotten chlamydia twice. No other surprises, and TBF, you get Chlamydia just by looking at someone with it haha it's that common. One quick antibiotic pill and that was that.

I have just seen this topic. I still don't want to believe it...
 
It was 2009, San Francisco, and my first ever review was published on Daddysreviews by a long-standing member here. I had no idea what this site was so I went to check it out and shortly after my cell phone rang. A gentleman introduced himself as "Daddy" and told me that my review got published on his website. He asked me a few non-intrusive questions that were geared towards finding out whether the money I make through this means is being invested for my future. Again, and I must emphasize this, he did that in the most non-intrusive way as one possibly could have. I felt that he just genuinely wanted to ensure that I am on the right path to creating financial independence for myself in the long run. We covered a few other aspects of the industry and he offered me a helping hand in case I ever needed a piece of advice.
 
Soon after my first published review came the second, third --- 20th, and 30th, and my business has exploded and I was full of quality inquiries. Surely, providing a great service doesn't hurt but without the ability for people to research their next "date" on a platform like his, how would anyone know about my abilities?
 
But business (while obviously in our lives is key) was truly NOT what Daddy was all about. He was in it to help people. Genuinely.
 
I had the pleasure to meet him on numerous occasions at a variety of restaurants and many times at his apartment in Las Vegas. We even met during the pandemic (the chair was waiting for me at the entrance to sit on) while he distanced himself from me by being in front of his computer on the other side of the apartment and we were both wearing masks. The "HOW" never really mattered, but every meeting with him was always highly insightful and entertaining.... and very genuine. Many of you probably didn't get the chance to truly know who was behind this nickname/website and I am very grateful that I had the pleasure of conducting more than just superficial chit-chats with him.
 
For those of you who don't know, he was a computer whiz and had incredible talents at forensics and used to be retained as a forensic expert in multi-billion dollar lawsuit cases back in the day. This speaks volumes of the in-depth knowledge he had about certain fields in computers.
 
Talking about talent, he used to be an escort himself (waaaaaaaaaaay) back in the day. He wasn't always overweight and was rather hot. He told me so many funny stories about providing services in LA/Beverly Hills to some of the Hollywood elites. They were extremely entertaining stories.
 
He never cared about the money. He went as far as to flat-out decline highly lucrative promotional/marketing/advertising offers if he disagreed with how the company conducted its business in the gay world, whether we are talking about advertising practices, treatment of others, or the mission the company stood for. He was a principles guy, yet - needless to say - non-judgmental.
 
Every time we talked - without an exception - he had his "routine" questions:
- Are you happy?
- Do you put a certain percentage of your money aside and invest it?
- Do you take time out to have fun and enjoy life too?
 
This should tell you about the type of person Bill was.
 
(With names redacted), he showed me all kinds of escort inquiries where the guys offered him free sessions in exchange for promotion/bad review removal/self-review postings. He NEVER abused his position and always maintained his integrity.
 
He was a big fan of Latin guys with muscles and cute butts. Who can blame him, right?! Yet... never ran out of compliments for me when we met.
 
We talked about a few side projects of his too. Some of you may not know, but a few years back he was running a website that was teaching the transgender community about proper accessorizing / makeup / wigs and how to start out. He was also running it on his own dime and received no compensation for it.
 
On my last in-person visit during COVID, we actually started discussing either a joint business venture or a certain promotional opportunity about a website that would have served as an extension of DaddysReviews. We have never finalized the details and sadly, that will not happen anymore. It would have been great to work with him I am sure.
 
I just want you gentlemen to understand how this person sacrificed most of his life to help our community. He never asked for anything in return and I know exactly how much of his life he sacrificed for others. He changed my life, and probably many of your lives I am certain or the very bottom line, his work made your life a little easier in this crazy world.
 
I hope that he is in a good place now, his contributions, his helping hand, his guidance, and the amount of care and love he put out for all of us will be remembered (at least by me) for a LIFETIME.
 
When @Cooper reached out to me, I was shocked to hear that I was probably the only person who knew his address. He was so loving, welcoming and open that I thought he kept company often times at his home. I also would like to take this opportunity to thank Cooper for taking immediate actions and for keeping everyone posted. I am so truly sorry it ended this way. :-(
 
THANK YOU BILL/DADDY/GUY FAWKES WITH ALL MY HEART! ❤

Thank you for everything you did for so many of us over the years, Daddy. RIP, and know that you'll be missed by all who had the good luck to interact with you.

Very sad day today. I’m grateful that’s all I’m going to say. Sending you all big love today
Rest Daddy
Just rest
Love David

To have built a community that collectively is in sorrow over his passing shows the impact that Daddy had on so many lives. Few men leave behind a legacy like this. It’s often brought out the best and most compassionate in us.

Terrible sad news indeed. Daddy‘s forum has been such an invaluable resource, entertaining sandbox and safe place for us all. May he rest in peace. Hope this forum can continue in some form without his leadership.

A well known personality...

I have just read the sad news. This is one of the most beautiful eulogies I have read. Thank you for pointing out not only what he did to help others but also how he did so with integrity; that is a rare trait today. Rare is the man who can not be “bought” or cut corners but as you remind us, Guy Fawkes was one such person.
 
Not much can be added to the many beautiful posts of remembrance. In these pandemic days, the words “essential worker” have been bandied about. That only partly describes Guy Fawkes. His work was not only essential to maintaining this site electronically but also in creating a community where people were able to connect and make friends. As many stated, his work helped many on their life’s journey.
 
While everyone has the chance to touch the lives of others, Guy Fawkes spent the extra energy to actually do that. What a wonderful man to leave such a beautiful legacy.
 
Thank you Guy Fawkes for a life well spent.?
 
Thank you Cooper for all you have done.

I am very sorry to report that Guy Fawkes/daddy passed away this evening of heart failure. For over a month he remained in the hospital unconscious and on life support.
 
His passing touches us all. He was a man who dedicated his life to providing a Forum where men would feel free and comfortable talking about all sorts of topics that covered our life style.
 
Having worked with daddy since he started this site I got to see first hand how much he cared about people and viewed us as his family. He was a very bright man with a love for life. He will be missed.
 
RIP Daddy/Guy Fawkes
 
With sympathy,
Cooper

Hey all, just wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be meeting up with you in Palm Springs this year. Unfortunately, my father is short for this world so I must go to Oregon to be with he and my sister. I was so looking forward to seeing all of you in my city. This year will be all more important with the sad news of Daddy/Guy. Have fun and make a toast for Daddy.

I think this was her last hit album in the U.S. and was very much influenced by the new jack sound of the era... But this is my favourite, followed by Strut and Sugar Walls...
