Steven J. Dikun

So very sorry to hear of your brother's passing, Tom and Ed. I remember him well, as we lived just down from you in Liberty. Though I hung around Ed, as we were the same age, I remember my brother Mike and Steve hanging out a lot as well as with Tom. I had heard he was doing the band thing and it sounds like he followed that passion. My sincere condolences.

Steve was my amp tech in Burbank for 20 years. He always had a spare minute or hour to tell you anything you wanted or needed to know about the gear. I learned *everything* from him. The stories, the parts, the gear, everything. He was a hard working, honest man. He treated everyone with courtesy. He had his opinions, sure, but he never held it against you if you disagreed. I remember when he could no longer afford to stay in Burbank when they jacked his rent. He told me he was going to Ohio- also where my people are from. We talked about building a new amp together, but we lost touch. I've wondered about him ever since and looked for ways to contact him. I'm so sad. What a loss. I will treasure my memories with him and pass his legacy on as best I can. God bless his friends and family. He lived a truly great life! Rob T.

Tom and Ed my sincere condolences for your loss
Steve was my very best friend I was shocked to learn of his passing I’ll never forget all our travels throughout the years Steve loved to come to Florida to fish and fish and fish some more.
Such a talented technician sadly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him

Tom and Ed, and the rest of the family, you have my sincerest condolences, also on your mom’s death. Steve and I met in the junior high school band as trumpet players, along with Doug. I loved them both, and will always remember that the times we had growing up together—including the pizza your mom made, the kielbasa, the times on the lake fishing for bluegills and crappies and cleaning them after in your basement, the music we played at his various places, his advice on tubes for my stereo, how he could get so animated on music, and recent politics. On that last one, I’m glad Steve got to see Trump voted out of office. I’ll really miss him.
