Mark Arram (Sly to my Reggie) Died Last Saturday

[reggie]

My best friend dropped dead on Saturday.

Our relationship was so full of love and our 25 years together so full of laughs and music and discussion that I feel I have so much to be thankful for.

Every week like clockwork he would turn up on my doorstep and we would work together. His creativity was astounding and often challenging, sometimes destroying as much as he created. But much survived the creative process, some of which has been posted up on this forum over the recent years.

He was a deeply funny guy and a loving friend.

Sly is dead, Long Live Sly!

Sorry to hear that. I've enjoyed many of your posts over the years.

[Jeremy]

So sorry, reggie. Hopefully his work will continue to entertain and amuse.

[El Pibe]

Very sorry for your loss, sad news indeed.

[Seabag]

Very sad news

RIP Sly

[Mick Mac]

Very sad. RIP.

[Otta]

I won't be a hypocrite and suddenly claim I always found your work hilarious, but that doesn't matter at all.

Really sorry you've lost your mate, that's shit.

[Alan Medic]

Ditto what Otta said.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Third what Otta said. Sorry for your loss.

[Robert Poste's Child]

So sorry to hear about Sly. Losing him so suddenly must have been a huge shock.

[GSJ57]

So sorry for your loss. Had a sudden death in my own family last week so you have my sympathies, it's such a helpless feeling isn't it.

RIP

Awful news Reggie. I'm so very sorry to hear it. Sounds like you crammed a lot in in that time. As you know I've always been a fan...that Foreigner video you did....my thoughts with you and all.

[muser]

Oh dear! That is dreadful news, very sad and way too early for those left behind. If you want to talk, welcome

[Loz]

Like Otta, I was never a fan, but you were both definitely local characters. And the world needs characters.

RIP.

Having had the pleasure of DJ-ing with Sly & Reggie a few times in the past I'm rather upset by this. Condolences to all his loved ones. He was a really nice bloke. RIP.

My condolences to you and Mark's family.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Sorry to hear of your loss.

[Huggers]

very sorry to hear this.

[FJDGoose]

Sad news Reggie, sorry for your loss.

[se22cat]

Very sad to hear this, I always enjoyed the occasions you guys would cause some noise from the van & kick up a fuss amongst the mostly po-faced residents around Lordship Lane. Your bag for life song was a nice piece too, RIP Sly.

Mark was also the founder of the East Dulwich Writers' Group and a close personal friend. His creative output was stupendous and his take on life was unique. We're still reeling. Hugs to you, Reggie. You're doing him proud. Mark would approve.
