Richard "Bomer" Manzullo

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Bomer.I wish to extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends.It had been many years since we had been in contact and I only just recently learned of his passing ,we shared many happy memories of Carpinteria,SB and SFO.Bomer was an exceptionally talented musician and a very bright person.I'm happy to see the legacy of his musical gift has touched so many people.He made me laugh many times and it is the good times together I will remember...

I knew Bomber when he lived in SF and played in RKL in the mid-eightys, and thought the world of him. To some extant he invented speed punk/metal drumming, blowing the minds of all bay area drummers at the time. Just ask them! But above all he was the nicest, kindest, and funniest guy from L.A. I ever knew. I was heart-broken when I heard he died.
