23 Aug 2018 - The news has slipped almost in secret, as well as the character of Dario Pegoretti, a convinced and decisive canvas player with the welding machine in his hand, but equally shy in life. Dario Pegoretti is gone. Difficult to digest this thing thinking of Dario. One so, full of ideas and inventions has always been an institution.
A news rebounded by a friend, then confirming the news. As far as we know, Pegoretti would have had a heart problem in the late afternoon, around 7.00pm. And he left right next to his company.
Difficult to comment on such news. A person who, beyond the teleworking skill, was also a volcanic mind and full of ideas: have you ever ventured to ask for a precise color for a frame? He would have done his own thing anyway, but leaving everyone fully satisfied.
So it was Dario, exuberant and precise in his work, where he often had to make important decisions. A continuous source of stories even beyond the frames. As when he came to follow the presentation of a book by Claudio Gregori and then confessed: do you know that I was his pupil when he was teaching? I still have the excitement to see it.
Or one of the first times we had met him, at a fair many years ago. He went to his stand Ugo De Rosa, which Dario considered one of his teachers (but the estimate was mutual). "Are you working well?" Mr. De Rosa. At that moment Dario became very serious and explained his work to De Rosa as a student who answered a question hoping to be sufficiently prepared.
It was so Dario. Many call him - they called him - maestro because he was a bit of a lighthouse for a new way of making craft looms and also in the wake of the great Italian tradition. But he was always ready to question himself and learn new things and surprise everyone.
This time, however, we wanted a different surprise.

Was in the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Gassy.

RIP Ed King - Sweet Home ...

Was busy yesterday and the news of Dario Pegoretti escaped me until now.
Truly saddened by his passing, and effervescent and hugely talented man whom I was lucky enough to meet at a talk by him about 7/8 years ago with @mrsmith

Dario Pegoretti was the personification of an eccentric genius. He did everything his own way and it was fabulous. Yet he was humble and polite. Really saddened by this.

Neil Simon - if American comedy writing had an eminence grise, he was it.

California Suite takes some beating...I agree with you.

Not sure if by RIP you mean Rot in peace?

The Bad Seeds won’t be the same without him.

Terry Davis, the ever so slightly eccentric creator of TempleOS, the operating system he made so that he could talk to God.

RIP Burt Reynolds - the Bandit

You should read David Foster Wallace's essay on McCain's presidential candidacy race. It's called Up Simba, in his Consider the Lobster collection of essays (I think it's also here: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/david-foster-wallace-on-john-mccain-the-weasel-twelve-monkeys-and-the-shrub-194272/). Even if you don't agree with his politics, as a person he was pretty incredible...

Let's hope he meets "Him" in the afterlife.

RIP Quint.

RIP Johnny Kingdom
