Not sure what to say?

I never knew him but my mother (Mary Joseph) and my father (Bill Thompson) did back in the 50's. I heard lots of stories when I was growing up and wish that I could have met him. He looked like a kind man. My condolences. Sincerely, Robert F Thompson

I met remo and his wife in cambria ca. I remodeled a house they had there. Worked on a building they had at there vineyard in paos robles. He was one of the nicest people i have ever met. Rip remo. See ya when i see ya

Growing up in Mishawaka, Indiana I always looked up to this giant of a man! And when he went to California and made it big.....that was amazing. I'm sure Remo is not missing a beat in heaven! With fond memories, Dennis Spalazzi, Cincinnati, Ohio.

David and I are deeply saddened to find out of Remo's passing. David knew Remo for many years and respected him as a man and musician. I met Remo in early 2000 spend time at his homes and enjoyed him and Ami immensely.
Remo I know you are entertaining the Angels now with your drumming & music

Uncle Remo, may you rest in peace with God. I never really realized the extent of who you were to the world until now. You will be missed everywhere...

I,m just a regular guy who has played drums for
55 years, nothing special about me, but Remo was
a true innovator and genius, those old calf skin
heads never stayed in tune, once I switched to
Remo,s ammbassador plastic heads, I was in drummers heaven! God bless a great man and my deepest sympathys to all who loved him!

the beat goes on
