He created the first bomb proof turntable and was the first to incorporate vacuum clamping in a turntable.
He designed many cartridges for Sumiko. Both Sumiko and Sota survive today. Good show! RIP.

Dear @mijostyn : Thank's to posted. 

D.Fletcher as other memorable gentlemans is a true lost for the audio industry.

I own/owned The Arm and one of his premier tonearms, I still own 2-3 of his MC cartridge designs ( truly good performers. ) and listened several times Sota TTs even at my place.

Rest in peace and best feelings for his family.

R.
