The passing of WERU's "Cowboy Tommy Dean"

N

Nelz

It's always a shock when you hear of someone passing away at such a young age, as did WERU's "Cowboy Tommy Dean" (Tom Salisbury). He leaves us at 50 year's young.

I had the honor of meeting Tom a couple of times; one such meeting was at a George Jones concert at the Bangor Auditorium. His passion for country music, and those that create it, was unmatched. He was one of those creators, and also its greatest cheerleader and advocates for new and upcoming talent.

If you get a moment read the great article about Cowboy Tommy Dean in the Bangor Daily News.

My condolences to his family, friends, fans, and most certainly his comrades at WERU. I feel your grief.

"He was one of us."

Tommy Dean and I worked together many times with the American Legion's Christmas for Families program, and the Billy Charles Award for Community service. I went to the hospital the moment I heard, and was with the family just moments after he passed. He was my best friend, and we spoke on the phone or in person daily. We DJ-ed a wedding together and went backstage at the Colin Raye concert at the Blue Hill fair together. He was the most genuine, caring human being I have ever know...

Here are the details of his memorial:
