I met Quiet in the winter of 2006/2007 when I moved to Harrisonburg. I worked at the bicycle shop he frequented downtown. He had very particular ideas about handlebar ergonomics and brake cable routing. Over the next few years we built up a friendship based on bicycles and my genuine interest in this character. He could push your buttons but there was something about him that made it ok. Occasionally he would bring me a bean and cheese quesadilla on Saturday morning from the farmers market that was carried neatly folded up in his pocket. I´d check over his bicycle either the black or white one and listen to whatever was on his mind which could be anything. Quiet taught me patience on a level I didn´t think I could achieve. I left Harrisonburg in the spring of 2017 but will never forget his simple and booming greeting of "Hello!" I was lucky to know him and even luckier to call him a friend. Rest easy Quiet. I´ll see you when I get there.

I have known/known of Quiet T Please since I was a small child. He lived in my neighborhood and my earliest memories of speaking with him were when I would ride my bike to 7-11 with my brothers for slurpees. [Though I remember asking my mother about him well before I could ride a bike. His name is Quiet T Please. Me: Why mom: Could be because he likes the quiet. And he's polite about it.] At 7-11 or Red front, we'd sit outside on the ledge and Quiet would often come by. Always vibrant and polite. He would announce his presence, being careful to ensure we weren't startled. We looked forward to when he came around and enjoyed listening to him. He sounded like a genius to us, even when I sometimes couldn't follow his train of thought. He was ahead of his time. The last time I was home in Harrisonburg, I looked for him to no avail. I now know he had moved. I was sad to hear of his passing, but very grateful to have read Nicole Hostetter's thoughtful piece on his life and legacy in our town, and to know he had a family who was checking in on him. Rest In Peace, Quiet Tortouga Please.
