I knew Debo back in the day at BPHS, hung with him through high school, through college years,and as we bounced through various jobs, alleged careers, and good times.  I've always looked back on those days with a grin, even the memory of when he scrambled me before a bartending gig.
RIP old friend, RIP.

Sad to hear of this. I've known Debo since 1980 at Beaver and worked with him during the Duke Power days. RIP

Worked with Debo circa 1991 at HB Robinson with some other "old" timers that knew the business well, always fun to be around with a quick wit and fun stories to tell. Sorry to hear of his passing.
