Pepe Smith, who gave me courage to go ahead and make the idea of Rock Ed real. This was in Ayuyang, Baguio, a long long time ago -when his glee in saying "OKEY YAN, TULOY MO YAN" made all the difference in the world for then-hesitant me. Salamat Salamat Pepe, rock n roll. pic.twitter.com/Gang Capati
My deepest condolences to @sanyasmith007 and their whole family for the passing of a great legend, Mr. Pepe Smith. The Philippines rocks and rolls because of you, sir! RIP in heaven

Paalam at salamat Joey "Pepe" Smith. I was 17 when I first saw you live at 70's Bistro, performing epic guitar solos with Chickoy Pura on Himig Natin that lasted for what felt like 20 minutes. Hebigats, lodi. RIP.— Renato Reyes, Jr. (@natoreyes) January 28, 2019
