ProjectGuitar.com Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Today I was informed that Matia a forum member and a good friend to Project Guitar has passed on. He was a very nice friend and friendly to everyone here and will be sadly missed. It's times like this I think we should always reflect on the good that has happened in our live's and also concentrate on keeping our own world safe. His passing came about abruptly from an automobile accident. He will surely be missed Quote Link to comment
Brian Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 His Actual name was Lee and word is just getting out since his family had to hack through his passwords in his computer to inform everyone that still had pending conversations and business with him. He passed on a couple of months ago in an automobile accident while in Australia Quote Link to comment

eddiefletcher Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 hello, my name is eddie and I am lee's older brother. I just wanted to jump on to say thanks for all the messages and good wishes. lee really loved his guitar building, its something I originally got him into a couple of years back and i know just how much enjoyment and usefullness this site actually gave him. i have been online here myself a couple of times and have to say I think generally it is excellent. lee through so too and I wanted to pass this on to you all. Myself and the whole family have obviously had a really hard time of it lately however I would like to thank everyone, particularly Brian and Cerealk for there wishes. lee had a heck of a lot of respect for you both. I am also currently building a tribute guitar for lee to give me something to remind me of him so I'm sure you may all see me on here again from time to time. I'll be sure to post the pictures as we progress. once again a huge thank you. eddie F Quote Link to comment

gw_guitars Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 This is sad,very sad. The site by Matia was the site that got me in contact with Melvyn Hiscock and later this site. I still have the spreadsheet (fretcalc) that Matia made on my desktop. Much strenght for his family Gerard Quote Link to comment
Southpa Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Eddie and family, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, and our loss as well, on this forum. 2003 was a bad year with too much bad news. Lots of people in the music and entertainment field passed on as well. Those people influenced and inspired us throughout our lives and they're passing left some awful big holes. Lee was no exception. Take care. Quote Link to comment
Hotrock Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Eddie, There's not much that can be said other than I'm very sorry for your loss. Last year my girlfriend lost her little sister to cancer and a while back I also came very close to losing my brother. It's hard on the ones left behind, my thoughts are with you. If there is anything that I can do for either you or the tribute guitar, get in touch . Quote Link to comment
