Did a quick search to see if anyone had already posted this, but Leo's partner in Fender and the man credited for taking Leo's inventions and marketing them around the world, died Dec. 23.

Don was as important to Fender as Leo himself and is greatly understated.

Our high school had Randall bass and guitar combos for Jazz Band & Jazz Choir.
In my senior year they upgraded to a Bassman 100 w/ 215 cab.
I was pullin' for some Sunn gear!

Did something he loved for a lifetime,
Worked hard and left a great mark on the industry,
Lived into his 90's.......


Well Done and Godspeed sir
