I'm sorry to inform people like this, but Slim Died this afternoon. I've no info yet, but as soon as I hear anything, I'll post here.

We will not see his like again - Slim was a true American original.

I didn't know him personally, but I always read his posts with great interest. He had knowledge and wisdom about this art, that only very few have. This forum lost something priceless.

Slim was not only my husband, but my best friend. He wasn't just a sideshow performer, but magician also. Slim knew so much about many things, and shared what he knew with many. Maybe he was generous to a fault, but that's who he was. Giving so much, and expecting nothing in return except a thank you. He'll be surely missed.

Krista

Best to you Krista...hang in there till he gets where he's goin'...and Slim, I'll see ya down the road and just around the corner. Funny thing pardner...you had called me a couple of times in the middle of the night and woke me up...well it's 2 am...I got your call.

Slim loved life, his heart was in his love for each of us. His passion was in the way he lived his life. Slim contributed much, he was a many faceted person, a poet, an author, a carny, a friend, and much more. He gave from his head and his heart. His wisdom is a light for all of us in these times when life seems bigger than our strength. Slim was and is an example to all of us, about the things that really matter, risk, love and the fullness of life.

As Slim would always say, "KEEP THE CANDLE BURNING"

He will be missed,

Krista you are in my prays.

This is a big shock!!!

Slim was a giant of the Café, I will miss him...I'm glad I wrote to thank him for the howiediddits....Don't know what else to say, I am sure this thread will run into pages and pages....

Stay strong Krista,


my sincere condolences,

Corona

Another giant gone! Slim was a giving man! He freely gave of himself and his knowledge. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Krista if you need anything…

Thoughts and prayers are with you Krista..

With sympathy,
John

Krista,

My thoughts are with you. Slim was very generous with all of us, and wanted more than anything to pass on the flame, which he did, every day. We will all miss him.

Yours,

Paul

I am deeply saddened by this news. Slim Price was a dear friend to me, and to anyone who wanted to learn about this trade. He has given me gifts of knowledge and of his heart. He will truly be missed and remembered. I wish the best for you Krista during this time. I don't know what else to say.

Very truly yours,
The Great Nippulini

Sad news indeed. RIP Slim.

Krista,

Thank you for taking the time to pass the news on to us. My condolences to you and all of Slim's family, both traditional and show. I've enjoyed everything that Slim shared with us.

I'm deeply saddened by this news. The few times that I've emailed Slim for advice he was always quick with a detailed response. I'm glad that I printed those emails. They will be cherished.
Krista, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May you know only happiness.

His generosity with his experience should be remembered for a long time. It certainly was "howiediddit".

Thoughts and prayers with you, Krista.

Sad news indeed.Slim and I talked about meeting up some day and jackpoting,who knows we still might get to do just that.
Good bye my friend.
Don

I have talked with Slim many times over the computer and for the first time on the phone about 3 or 4 days ago, we spoke for about 2 hours and I had one of the most fullfilling chats of my life.

Krista, I'm so sorry for your loss, you had such a treasure of a guy, and the advice that he has given will never be forgotten.


goodbye Slim

Allthough Slim and I never met, he had been a Large supporter of our show
and corresponded with me whenever he could. I feel a terrible sense of loss
that I will never get to meet him now. Slim was such a proud keeper of the
flame and will allways be remembered as a Showman with High Intergrity and
a strong love for the brotherhood and sisterhood of our Sideshow World.

Krista my thoughts are with you.

Lets keep that candle burning.

This is very, very sad news.

I want to say something profound and meaningful, but I'm just stunned.

Slim’s wit and generosity will be so missed.

Krista, thank you for letting us know. Take care of yourself. Our thoughts are with you.

With sincerest sympathies,
~Stephon

RIP Slim.

Thanks for being a friend.

See you down the road.
