Over time others have added to the knowledge base but it is still a tribute to someone they respected and many looked up to as a mentor.

Just like Enzo to leave riddles. The "Rosebud" thing is from an Orson Welles movie (Citizen Kane). I'll now have to watch the movie in his honor. I have no idea about the 200 bucks and golf balls, but you can bet there's something to it.

There are two separate jokes he liked.
1 - Married for 50 years, wife and hubby are cleaning their attic, when the wife comes across a box with $200 and 3 golf balls in it. She asks 'what's this?' Hubby answers, "I'm sorry to have to admit that over the years, I have strayed, and every time I strayed, I put a golf ball into that box." The wife sighs, and says, "well, I guess that over 50 years, 3 golf balls, 3 times, I guess that's not too bad. what's with the $200?" He answers "every time I got to a dozen golf balls, I'd sell them..."
2 - Guy goes on vacation asks his buddy to take care of his cat. He returns, and asks buddy how things went. Buddy says "well, your cat died." Guy exclaims "Oh! You don't just blurt that kind of thing out! Break it to me gently, tell me the cat got out, you tried to coax it back in, it got onto the roof, you kept trying to coax it back and tried and tried, but eventually, the cat didn't and died." Friend says, "ok, I guess that would be a nicer way." So, guy says "anything else go on while I was gone?" and friend answers, "well, your mom went out onto the roof..."RJ

EDIT: I always wanted to be a fly on the wall when he and Wendy would take their game to a diner. The way Enzo tells it they had a sort of rolling repertoire of bits and they would cue off each other. I'm sure it was a hoot."Take two placebos, works twice as well." Enzo

Thinking out loud.
If there are folks going to the Enzo Event I'm wondering if it would be appropriate or appreciated if there was a plaque or something from MEF to represent how much he meant to us? I don't even know how much time that would take. I would gladly contribute to something like that though, both time and money.
Then again I also know that after a loved one passes having a bunch of tokens of rememberance can feel like a burden a few months down the road. Maybe a website would be a better use of effort.

well...if the tokens are in your face every day it might be like that......but personally, I don't think like that..it really is the thoughtfulness that will actually count....just my thoughts on the whole thing...I would love to attend but I am in eastern Canada so I am kind of off the beaten track so to speak...

RIP Enzo. Thank You so very much for your contributions over the years. Your legacy of sound advice through thousands of posts will live on. Here, and on other forums, your wise words have assisted countless audio enthusiasts worldwide. I learned plenty from you over the years. You enlightened me on troubleshooting, and diagnostics with simple, no-nonsense explanations while keeping it entertaining with your immense wit. Fortunately with your abundance of posts there is a wealth of knowledge, humor, benevolence, and your unmitigated tenacity. Thanks

Oh no ! I am so saddened to hear this. He's was legendary at least in my mind, and helped me a lot more than I deserved. I rarely come here lately but i just started coming back to tubes after a years long stint with modeling and came to do a search, and when i saw this i figured it must have happened a while ago but i see it was just recent. Major loss to the community and a electronic genius. Condolences to his family. RIP Enzo, and thank you for the uncountable posts you contributed to helping so many including myself.
