+ mature_guy Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes, Hooboy then Daddy. Both fine gentlemen in their own ways, but a lack of planning put the future of the site in jeopardy twice, when they both died unexpectedly. I'm glad that RadioRob and crew have made the future of the site more secure. lehigh, wayout, + ButchAtl and 11 others 8 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case I am grateful to both men and grateful for RadioRob and the crew.

+ bigjoey Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Daddy was a lucky man to have be able to “work” doing something he loved.

+ purplekow Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) It has been a year yet impossibly, only a year. Nothing has changed and everything has changed on the site and in the world. Thanks to the hard work of those who have kept this site going, we are still able to fill our days with discussions of life and sex, men and sex, politics and sex, sports and sex, entertainment and sex and of course, sex and sex. But the overarching soul of this site is the members keeping each other strong and supported and connected. That is the foundation that was set up by Hooboy and built upon by Daddy and now carefully maintained and modernized by RadioRob and his trusted advisors and moderators. This site keeps me less lonely. This site has provided friends and lovers, laughs and tears and an anchor I can count on in turbulent seas. Here I feel free to discuss honestly topics which I would otherwise censor. Here I can argue in the politics section, lust in the galleries and share humor and heartache and life experiences in a unique outlet Here I can be seen and heard in a manner in which I cannot be in other portions of my life. Thank you to all that make this site the perfect accompaniment for a morning pick me up, an afternoon delight or a relaxing evening cocktale. I know in the upcoming weeks some of us, who likely would be strangers to each other, faceless and nameless scurrying by unseen, will meet and raise a toast to the man who brought most of us together and kept us together with the sheer force of his determination to do so. We will stand in the shade of a tree planted in his honor and we will laugh and exchange stories and remember while we make new memories together. I would feel that my life was a success if I were to leave such a legacy. My sincere hope is to emulate that accomplishment.

RadioRob Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 12 hours ago, coriolis888 said: How do you define "wealthy businessman"? That's actually a great question. "Wealth" is not always about money. You leave the world the same way you came into it... without any sort of worldly possessions. Now what you CAN leave with is love and respect. Those are two things Daddy had in spades. So he left this world very wealthy in what really mattered. Many businessmen when they leave are not able to say that they've touched the lives of thousands of people around the world. They cannot say that thousands of people loved him dearly and miss him no longer being here. That was absolutely not the case for Daddy. As a result... I'll always remember him as wealthy. + Charlie, lehigh, + sf westcoaster and 9 others 4 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know him personally, but feel very grateful to him for having started this site, and giving so much for a place where we can all safely explore our lifestyles and discover more!

And that he did it while traveling the world was what was most impressive. He chose hotels specifically for their internet connections. Always cable modems. I remember being with him one night when the internet went down at a Knightsbridge hotel and we quickly moved to a reliable connection in Earls Court so that he could make sure the site was updated. + WilliamM, + robear, + DERRIK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedbear Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I have taken a break from Daddy’s for several years now, mainly for financial reasons, and tonight I just decided to check it out again. I was so saddened to learn of the passing of Daddy. He meant so much to so many. Daddy’s Reviews helped me, a retired fairly successful businessman who was a shy as I could be when it comes to dating, at least have “Boyfriend Experiences.” It helped build my confidence and reduce my shyness (somewhat). I am indebted to both Hooboy and to Daddy. + Vegas_Millennial, MikePDNA51, RealAvalon and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ JEC Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 As we approach the 3rd anniversary of Daddy's passing, I want to acknowledge the great work on behalf of a small team of volunteers who keep this community active and thriving! The days and weeks following daddy's death were fraught with uncertainty - and this community nearly perished. This community pulled together and found our way through - got access to the site code, migrated the site to new technology, and developed a new support structure. We even came up with a new name for our community! While every volunteers' contributions are valued, I wanted to especially acknowledge @RadioRob our tireless webmaster. He does his work with no fanfare, no drama and almost no downtime; and he seeks no recognition. @RadioRob we are grateful! ....CompanyOfMen RIP Daddy liubit, + Charlie, + Socalguy and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
