Tammad Memorial Guestbook

Tammad Rimilia was instantly killed in automobile accident Monday November 20th, 2000. This web page was created to allow people that wish to post a memorial message a place to do so. Tammad was friend and frequent visitor to this website, and he had created an extensive personal website that has a lot of CB content on it. His web site contains kinky stories, essays, photos, and bondage "how-to" information; you can visit it at http://ms.ha.md.us/~tammad/

I just stumbled across Tammad's site a few days ago and was pleased to see that he and I have much the same views on the subject. I was dismayed to read of his death.

I and my fellow managers of D/s Civility never had the honor to meet Tammad, but his work was beautifual to behold. We have used his site as one of out most common educational references for newbies since the inception of our site and we will continue to do so as the most fitting memorial that we can provide for such a creative spirit of the lifestyle.

It was such an honor, privilege, and joy to know Tammad. He was a treasure that we will all miss - especially those who knew him personally. How can I explain the uniqueness and thrill he brought to the scene? How his eternally joyous grin lighted up a room; how his enthusiasm and meticulous workmanship even in such "mundane" matters as tying up a sub (and I was truly honored to be that sub a few times) made each scene a work of art, both visually and erotically; how his constant learning, sharing and teaching added so much to others and helped make BDSM a truly joyous and fulfilling experience for so many. Tammad was one of the most intelligent and caring people I have ever known. God, how I miss him! - Chrissy

Thanks for being honest enough to share your lifestyle with all of us. You have touched so many - but probably have known so few of us admirers. May God rest your soul. You will be missed.

We should not be sad that our kindred spirit has left us but we should all be happy that we had the privilage of knowing such a hero. Let his example be the guide and the beginning mold of those who would step forth to emulate his endevours and to eventually surpass him thus providing the best tribute of all.

i am so shocked to hear that such a tragic thing happened to Tammad. i had found His work, and photos, and had once considered contacting Him to do some photos of me for my Master. Since that time i have lost my Master. He passed away in Sept. of this year and i feel lost without Him. My heart goes out to those who loved and cared for Tammad. He seemed to be a very genuine person from what i read about Him, and i will miss seeing His work. The only thing we can do is live life to the fullest each day as if it is our last.....

Tammad was an engineer's engineer, a humanist's humanist, a friend's friend, and a prodigious achiever. Precisely because his life so enriched ours, his death leaves us feeling impoverished. What an irony, and what a profound commentary on the ultimate significance of this life, that he was done in by his preference for dining out. Sic transit gloria mundi. In pace requiescat.

No life, but love in death. Listening to Igor Stravinsky's "Le sacre du printemps". Life starts, accumulates, and ends in a brutal way. Always deplorable when a complex person passes away. Tammad etait toujours tres loin de ma maniere de penser, mais il a vecu sa vie dans une maniere particuliere. In this time we need more like him.

I met Tammad through a list called Female Supremacy (which is no longer running) and we got to be great friends, discussing both scene and personal things including his mom. Then he started the defunct list called submale, which was wonderful when it was there. A real help to new submales. His website helped me as well as many others. I will definitely miss his bright spirit and personality veyr much. He was right up there with Jay DoubleU, Lady Green and Gloria B... I hope is he teaching those where ever he is about all the techniques he shared with us on earth. I will miss you, Tammad, more than you could know... Lady Jet

As a new submissive, i was given a copy of an activity checklist to fill out, many months ago. It had Tammad's name on it. A few weeks ago, another checklist was sent to me, again, Tammad's name was on it. The man touched people that he had never dreamed of contacting -- it is indeed a tribute to him that he made a difference in so many lives. We on earth have lost a Titan, but one lucky child will now have a very special guardian angel to watch over him. Rest peacefully Tammad, it is our respponsibility now to continue for you.

Tammad's loss is not only great to the SM/BD community but equally great to the vanilla scientific and academic community - Tammad's credentials as a "computer professional" are remarkable - Tammad made contributions to computer science which clearly put him in the vanguard of the great scientific minds of the twentieth century - this world has lost a brilliant star as a result of this tragic and totally senseless accident!

My lover and I had the pleasure of playing with Tammad for a weekend a few years ago. He was a sweet, giving, smart, and resourceful man, with a blinding smile. He was also a very willing man who loved to help others. We were shocked to hear of his death. We are all diminished by his passing. I will remember him when I next see the rainbow bridge.

Truly we it as a shame when a life so young and full of sprit is taken from us, but we must all remember that Tammad lived his life with a fullness that most can only dream of. It would have been far sadder had he dreamed in place of living. He has left us all with the shared experiences of the "Road Less Traveled" and has encouraged us to wake from our dreams and to live the reality. Be happy that you have known him and live as he would have lived. Fear not what others may think of you but be happy in the life you chosen. That is the way Tammad would have lived and the things he would have encouraged all of us to do. Not for him but for us. Sleep the sleep of peace and rest in the arms of angels. You leave us a much richer people and we thank you.

Let's make his sad passing one with meaning! Was he wearing his belt during the accident? Did it add to his injuries? There is very little mention of a how to deal with a locked steel belt during a medical emergency. And certainly they are not crash tested. If anyone has information that can be shared here please do. You may save a life! ...and thank you Tammad for sharing, you are a hero...

time of the accident

I followed this man's adventures that he chronicled so well for all of us to enjoy and enlarge our own sense of reality. Tammad, you were a beacon in the darkness to so many people like myself. Though I never met you or even sent you an e-mail, for that matter, I, like so many others, regret not having taken the time to do so and just say "thank you" for being you and sharing the most intimate aspects of your being with the rest of us. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

I'm the "Domme from California" that Tammad mentioned in his journal in July. I never met the man in person, but through reading his journal every week, I felt that I knew him. I corresponded with him several times, and in every response he was unfailingly good-humored, polite, and funny. I wish desperately that I had had the chance to meet him in person. He will be terribly missed. His death comes as a great blow to the BDSM community. What I will remember most about him is that he was completely devoted to his current keyholder, and that she was truly the focus of his life. Of how many of us can that be said, that we truly made another person the center of our life? I admired that he was able to do so, and although the fact that she was his keyholder might have had something to do with it, I think it was more that Tammad truly wanted to make her happy, even at the expense of his own happiness. Tammad died living his dream. He touched so many lives. His whole attitude seemed to be "go for everything you want, do everything you want to do, live life to the fullest every day -- as long as you do it safely." I think that's a pretty healthy way to view the world. My condolences to all who knew him, both online and off, both within the community and outside it. They'd better be prepared for him in Valhalla.

To start off ive never Really been a huge Fan of Chastity and Bondage, But to put it bluntly Tammad and his site intriuged me. As time went on I discovered that I was an avid fan of his site.Ive seen all of it and I feel that I owe him My respect and appreciation.I am now a fan of CB fiction and bondage related material, mostly due to the way Tammad portrayed it on his site. To everyone else out there I give you my condolances To Tammad , Best of Wishes and May God Bless your souls Wherever you may be

I am very saddened by the passing of Tammad. I never met him, but did correspond a few times on-line. I enjoyed his web site immensely. He will be missed by all of us, kinky or otherwise, who can not express our inner thoughts as well as he could. He had a way of describing his experiences and feelings that only a few gifted people are capable of. Please rest in peace, Tammad, and may God be by your side and keep you in his arms for all eternity. Goodbye good friend.

I feel like I have lost two friends -- despite never having met, we exchanged emails under both our work and scene aliases. I found out he died on Monday, and then again on Friday -- once from his work, and once from this page. Only just now did I ever put those two together. Discretion permits me only to say that few of us know how much loss we all share in his passing. It is more than I ever could have feared.

I truly feel gifted to have been able to meet Tammad and felt his wonderfully joyous spirit in person. He was truly a great man with a very happy spirit. He welcomed the chance to talk and exchange ideas with anyone. He was supportive of you in a very non-judgemental way. One regret that I have is that I wasn't able to fufill his request for a copy of my recently published book. I just got his copy in the day after he died so tragically. He once again had been so open and willing to support this new endeavor and anxious to help me in any way that he could. I am going to remember him forever and am secure in the knowledge that my memories of Tammad are just the kind he would have wanted. Memories of a happy man who lived his life to the fullest no matter what direction that life happened to take him. Thanks Tammad for being you. Not just for all that you have brought to us who enjoy chastity, but for the sincere friendship that you gave as well. Your promotion of the safe, sane, and consensual message has been heard by many. And a lot of us who are into something just a little kinky or different are a lot more comfortable and able to enjoy ourselves in seeking what we want and enjoying it thanks to you Tammad. With warmest regards and memories, Rich J

I was shocked as most of you were. I wrote Tammad a few times about the same type chastity belt we both own. He always took the time to write back. We spoke of key holders and bodybuilding. I could tell by his responses that he is a special person. My knowledge of him stemmed from the emails we exchanged but I will miss him very much. I am saddened.

Tammad was a rare and beautiful man, one who gave and gave to all those he came across. He wanted to be the perfect salveboy and thanks to Ms Dawn he was well on his way to being that. He also dreamt of finding the keyholder he could devote his life to and raise a family with but whilst he waited for that he lived his life in the fullest manner that he could. He taught all of us to find the inner "Tigger", to believe in ourselves and to play and live safe, sane and consensual. He changed my life and there will always be a Tammad shaped hole in my heart. Sleep peacefully my darling one and we will meet again someday. Love and sympathy to Ms Dawn, Pinkie, his family and friends. Donna

I've lost good friends and loved ones throughout the years, from accidents, to wars, to age. But observing the outpouring of pain his death has caused to a lot of nice people, even to those who didn't know him personally, myself included, I offer this little poem in his honor. Normally I would let a poem sit awhile and simmer, then fine-tune it, but not this time. I feel the need to offer my respect. My heart goes out to his family, and those who loved him.

Lament for Tammad
I never got to meet him, nonetheless I feel the loss.
The world's a poorer place by far, now that he's gone.
He lived his life a gentleman, in the best sense of the word,
and the legacy he left won't be withdrawn.

His wisdom and his humor, and the way he lived his life,
full of gusto, charm, intelligence and grace,
lit the way for those among us, that he somehow touched.
He was special, with a gift one can't replace.

It seems like such an awful waste, to those who're left behind,
but who knows, perhaps sometime we still can meet.
If there's a life beyond this one, and if there is a God,
He'll be teaching angels why bound chastity's so sweet.

So yes the world's a poorer one, than it used to be.
One can only contemplate and cry and mourn.
But he'll live in his creations, and in our hearts and minds,
He was gifted, like a rose without a thorn.

Tammad seemed to me the kind of person who opened up to and welcomed anyone who was amenable to that. He displayed a rare blend of young adventurousness mixed with seasoned wisdom that was quite inspiring. I offer my condolences and friendship to those more deeply affected by his passing, and my best wishes to our friend in whatever situation may await beyond.

To add to that previous note I gave: I'm glad for him, in a way. Because he didn't feel any need to hide what he was. I wish I was able to be open like that. RIP, Tammad. I can imagine that was a great life...

Hmmh... I have been going to chastity pages for a while... Tammad's page was one of those. I didn't know him or had any interest of knowing him, but this still kinda squeezes me within. Maybe because some people are able to openly be what they really are...

What a senseless thing! I believe it was President Kennidy who once said that life was unfair. And how! Although we e-mailled a bit, I never got to meet Tammad, which I will always regret. But I can feel glad that I was one of the moving forces who got him to buy and use a Walter Goethals belt, after my own experience with this diabolical device. I am so pleased that it gave him some obvious (and frustrating) pleasure. But I just wish I'd followed up on our plans to meet. I guess the message for all of us is to not put off our plans: just do 'em- life is too damn short, and "tomorrow" never comes. You'll be missed Tammad, thanks for being there.

Tammad is a person I'm so glad I had the oportunity to meet. Our common interests were not limited to one field but to four seperate and very dear ones that we both held dear. It was not long ago that I had the oportunity to be photographed by Tammad at Erotic Thoroughbreds and these pics will always be held sacred to me. There is mention of my ponyplay trainer and myself on his site as he used our cart to fulfill his first ponyplay cart pulling experience. Rest in Peace my brother, as you have made your mark in this mortal life and it will show the path for others til eternity.

Frankly, I was in shock when I heard the news. I cried. You don't expect it in someone so young. And that is truly the greatest tradegy of all; he was so young, full of energy, and had already given so much of his time, knowledge, and kindness to others, there is no telling what he might have accomplished had he lived the full measure of years that should have been his. I count myself fortunate to have met him earlier this year, shook his hand, and sat and dined with him. Willing to learn, ready to teach, and always with a ready smile. Who among us could wish for a legacy better than that?

I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and have a personal rope bondage teaching session with Tammad at BR2000 just a couple of weeks before his most untimely death. How very special the ropes he gave to me and my submissive after that learning experience have now become. I had come to rely on his website as a ready reference that I could always turn to for knowledge and amusement. I will miss hearing the continuing Adventures of Tammad and Tarzan in the Land of Chastity. I am relieved to know that others will keep his website available to us. After the initial shock and tears slowed, I envisioned Tammad up in Heaven having already placed several angels in Japanese rope bondage. His ever present broad smile and twinkling eyes were evident, and around him were others practicing those three knots that are essential to rope bondage. I'm sure their chastity belts will be in place soon too. *smile* Tammad had a zest for life evident to those who knew him personally, but also to those who knew him only on-line. On those dark starry nights when I gaze into the sky and see a star shining just a bit brighter than all the others, I will know it is the reflection of Tammad's brilliant smile and he is sending me and others, "Warm regards, from a chaste and squirming slaveboy".

What a surprise and shock, and on Thanksgiving Day. I now regret I never wrote Tammand and told him how much I enjoyed his website. The internet makes the world much smaller and allows people like me to get to know people like Tammand. He will be missed.

I never met Tammad nor spoke with him ever, but I followed his ventueres in the realm of chastity with great interest. His descriptions of his life and how he integrated chastity into it, gave me a lot of hope and inspiration for my own goals in that regard. His untimely death leaves a hole in many peoples lives. Especially people like me who never had a chance to know him personally can only hope the buddhists are right and we will have a chance to get to know him in his next live! With this thought in mind I want to say: Bon Voyage, Tammad!

It's always a mixed feeling when real live clashes with the internet, makes you think how many Tammad Rimilia are out there, giving their time to make the internet what it is, for people like me to enjoy it. I've often visited his site, never left a message, and like me many other people, have done the same. The least that we can do is to express our condoleances and say that he will be missed for sure. Thank you Tammad !

I hardly know how to expresss my thoughts since learning of Tammad's death; I lack his wonderful facility with language and shall miss reading his upbeat and life affirming writings - especially his daily journal - I know I am very priviledged to have "talked" with him online and through e-mails many times - the thing I most remember about Tammad and Tammad's life is this: Tammad was just simply so much better than the rest of us - he wrote better, he thought clearer, and he simply lived life (and enjoyed life) at a higher and more intense level than the rest of us!

I was going to blurt out that I was sorry and leave it at that. Instead I looked at the picture above and realized that I had never really looked at this man's face, (The picture on his page being rather small and it had naver occured to me to blow it up) So I thought better of it and would like to appologize for not sending a thank you note after lurking and spending so much time enjoying his work in all it's aspects. Tammad I'm sorry, I hope that I can share and aspire to be as giving a person as you will remain in my heart. My best wishes to all your friend's.

I was an avid reader of his tale of chastitybelts and his adventures and misadventures. I am sorry to hear of his passing. The world is a less bright and shiny place with his passing.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Tammad, but through his postings and journels I had the feeling that this was a human being that I could like and enjoy as a person. Not because of his insights and knowledge of kink, but how he expressed himself. There always seemed to be a note of joy and delight in the expoloration of the world that this man found himself in. It has been said before, but perhaps the best way to honor Tammad and his life is to live yours to the fullest. Hug someone, lend a hand and not expect anything in return, in other words, Pay it forward.

Tammad was an artisian. Twice I had the opportunity to meet him and enjoy his lectures while he demonstrated his craft. He had an excellent command of rope bondage. He was so skilled with the camera and the word (both written & spoken), I've envied him many times. Many times I have had a dialogue with him and together we both learned more about us and our hobby. I remember his early fears of being caught in his belt (perhaps in an auto accident) and am glad he was 'clean' when left us. I will miss his wit, his skill and our future.

I've followed the adventures of Tammad for many months. His daily adventures will be missed. All CB enthusiasts will morn his passing. May he he rest in peace. My condolences to both his 'real' family, and his CB family, including Miss Dawn.

My thoughts on Tammads Passing This isn�t all that organized in my mind so if I ramble I apologize.I wasn�t going to say anything at all, but I�m not very good at that. A giver. That�s how I�ll remember Tammad, as someone who gave all he had to give, in his relationships, in his work, in his kink, and in his vanilla life. My own relationship with him was entirely online, and through his kink. I had often wished to make my way south during one of the many DC events like br2000, and attending one of his infamous lectures was definitely on the agenda. I think , shall I ever do attend, that he shall be on my mind because of that, knowing that I missed out on something very special. He forgot few people his life touched. His link page contains links to almost every kink page he had reason to come across, even mine, I�m honored to be in such fine company. His star shone more brightly than most, there are few people in this world that excel in everything they do, but he was among them . From top scientist, to photographer, to submissive, to teacher, he gave everything he had in all aspects of his life, and the results showed. Although he fancied himself a barbarian, through his caring for others and his unique self expression he came across to me as one of the most cultured people I knew. I�ve often heard the chastity folks referred to as a community. In some ways however it�s more important than that, at times I spend as much or more time with some of you than I do with my own family. I think that explains my feelings on this somewhat then, because I feel at the moment like a member of the chastity family has died. A couple more things need to be said. Tammad kept his vanilla life and his kink life separate. No one should contact his friends and family, please respect his wishes. Another thought that comes to mind. We often don�t miss things until they are gone. We don�t appreciate those around us until they are gone. I�ll never have the chance to tell Tammad thank you for his contributions over the years, but I don�t wish to make that mistake twice. To each of you whom I�ve corresponded with over the last few years, and whose writings I�ve had the opportunity to read, a sincere and heartfelt thank you. You are appreciated, and your contributions are appreciated. Finally, to Tammad himself, farewell. Farewell to the gentleman barbarian who gave so much of himself to so many.Rest in peace.

I have followed Tammad's adventures in chastity from day one. Through his writing I feel as though I knew him very well. His photography and writing, especially concerning chastity, were the best I have seen. Although I never met him in this life I will miss him deeply. Good fortune in your next life Tammad.

Tammad was in the forefront of CB experiences. His knowledge, wisdom and humor will always be remembered. Rest in peace, Tammad, and may God bless you.

I never got the opportunity to meet Tammad in real-life, nor really got to meet him online, yet I still will miss him as I would a relative. Through his words and photography, he brought me much entertainment, and frustration. May his life be not forgotten, but remembered always.

Tammad gave so much of himself and to other people - Tammads life was about so much more than just chastity belts and bondage - So many of us love Tammad - although we will never meet him in person in this life
