RIP: Tuba Man of Seattle

[tubabike]

I remember this guy very well from when I was growing up. He was always very musical and played with this great big fat sound! The Tuba Man was a welcome figure at events like Tuba X-Mas and the Seafair Tuba Toot of 1991 and he truly left his mark on the Seattle Sports Community. I remember he had this incredibly deep voice and would often insert this thunderous "I agree" at the most hilarious moments in Tuba X- Mas rehearsals!!

I was very saddened to learn of this hideous crime. Ed was a true fixture among the city of Seattle and I am sure he will be missed for many years to come.

I hope they catch the other three and that all five are charged as adults.

At the very least.

Even better, a bunch of tuba players kicking them to their death would be more poetic.

Sometimes, trials are not a sufficient form of justice.

(who believes strongly in the legal system...... but)

I've gotta agree with this sentiment.

A local concert would be good. Mentioning at TubaChristmas might work. I would come to town to participate.

Jeff-Please convey my condolences to Ed's family. While it goes without saying that the silencing of Ed's tuba around Seattle events will be a sad reminder of these reprehensible events, I will say that we will dedicate this year's Greater Seattle TUBACHRISTMAS to the memory of Ed's life and the joy that he brought to so many.
