Our friend, low-key

[Dan Murphy]

Dan what you said about Jason when you were a mod made me think of something I've always wondered about. I vaguely recall Pop Daddy as one who considered Disboards guidelines more as suggestions. It seems that Pop Daddy disappeared for quite a while (maybe banned?) and when he returned with his trademark grammar and spelling, his user name was low key. In my mind I assumed he had requested to regain access to the boards and whoever granted his permission might have had some words of advice: You can come back, but try and keep it a little more low key. Just my vivid imagination? I don't know.

Ron, if memory serves me correctly, Jason was still PD when I 'retired'. Your idea may very well be correct, though I am not sure.

This one hurts.

 

[wvjules]

Oh no. Sorry to hear of this. RIP Jason.

When I saw who started this post and the title, my heart clenched because I knew what it was going to say, I did not want to hear. I have been on the DIS for more than 20 years and Jason (in both of his personas) has always been a favorite. He will be missed.

Stunned. Absolutely stunned and sad. RIP Jason. You’ll surely be missed here.

So sad. I remember that he loved Las Vegas. I hope he got to visit there one more time. Condolences to his family and friends. He sure had a lot of Dis friends.

As a rule we don’t talk about infractions and such, but Jason was never banned, although a rascal. He took a break on his own terms and returned with a new name.

I hope somehow his family is able to see the posts about him. I think it would help them find comfort. Maybe not just yet, but sometime in the future.

So very sad. Pop Daddy had a large heart and will be missed.

May he Rest In Peace.

He once told me that his new name "low-key" was because that was his new philosophy when he came back. He was going to keep it "low-key."

Came across this earlier today:

So sad to read this. I always enjoyed the song threads and wondered what happened to him. God‘s speed.

Same here. So sad to hear this news.

So sad to read this news…

He was fun w/ a big heart & was a true light on the Community Board, & he will definitely be missed.

 

[sjrec]

So sorry to hear this-what a lovely tribute.
I enjoyed his posts-he was never unkind or hurtful in anything I ever read or saw here.

 

[melk]

So very sorry to hear this. Very nice tribute, Dan.

 

[AgentMama]

I also recently noticed his absence and was hoping he was okay. I'm so sorry to read this. Sending lots of good thoughts to Jason's family and loved ones.

I really hate to hear this Dan, PD/LK was always came across as such a nice guy. His ‘hey’ responses conveyed kindness, sympathy and caring. I’m so sorry for the loss suffered by all his family and friends.

Hey Dan....

I heard the news about PD from a couple of mutual friend/long lost DISers like myself. So I got myself a new password. First, thank you for your always eloquent and detailed remembrances and tributes fellow DISers.

At first I only had a vague recollection (and a smile and good feeling) about Jason....but coming back and looking at the various threads, a lot comes back to my mind. For sure, the thoughtful "Hey." Three little letters that conveyed so much more: "I see you, I hear you, I care....".

Condolences to all Jason's loved ones... both on and offline.

I didn't know low-key personally, but I enjoyed joining his music threads. He seemed like a very good-natured and accepting person. I will miss seeing his new posts.
