RIP Dennis.
I was lucky enough to meet him a few times.
Quite the interesting character.
He did one Brunswick conversion for me. Possibly the longest magic wand he ever built.
64" tall.
Why? I dont know. He never said. I never asked.
I do smile every time I put it together.

May he rest in peace, a lot to learn from his legacy.
Wow...I had for forget all about that little episode.
That's what Dennis loved to do also. Put a camera on you and challenge people whether on the felt or in just a casual setting.
Thanks for the memories Bob.

Poem was inspired by Dieckman, and out of friendship since late Eighty. It was printed in early Ninety. Hopefully you can read it, and have LOL.

With all the great pictures of Deek-a-Mon I thought I'd create one of my own in his image. Hope you like it
Thanks for all the pics!
Nice One Dave!
Azer's should look at Jamison Neu Facebook to see other comments https://www.facebook.com/jamison.neu
I just hope Jamison get his angel wing when time come, from Dieckman, and not this:
I first met Dennis Dieckman around 1990 during my junior year attending UMass Amherst. We lived across from Bob Lisciotti's pool hall in Sunderland, and as many of you might expect, I was there quite often.
I had already heard about Dennis, but understood him to live in Michigan. So, I was surprised to meet him in Sunderland, MA as it seemed he had moved there. Years later, I came to understand his travels and extended stays.
I acquired one of his cues, but unfortunately being long before my cue collecting days, I got rid of it for one reason or another. I suppose I regret this, but I regret more that I never got another.
Nearly 15 years later, I bumped into him at SBE, and was shocked that he remembered me and where we met. We got to be friends, and I enjoyed his eccentric ways. I wrote his article for InsidePOOL Magazine in mid-00's. It remains one of my most favorite articles. I’ll make it available soon.
Rest in Peace, Dennis Dieckman.
