I dont know if any of you knew but Commander Mo's was owned by the late BeeGee Maurice Gibb.

I just pieced this bit of info together last week, and thought it was cool, since I knew about Mo's first.

I figured that between the Royal Rat lube and the name "Mo's"...

Yeah, that was a fairly well known fact. There was a sticky as well as a couple of announcements here at AOG when he passed. However this thread serously proves my theory posted yesterday that people don't seem to read anything other than 1 section because there's no reason this should've been posted in the Speed section to begin with. What did this really have to do with the Speed?

He was a great guy. If you have never been to Commander Mo's you should definitely stop by some time if you are able to. It definitely has the appearance of like the dream paintball store. Very well done, great staff, only certified South Florida Angel techs. Just an awesome place.

This was in the speed section? Oops.
I think the reason I posted in here was because someone was asking where to by a speed and I said to get one at Mo's, which reminded me.

Not just a p/ball fan stev142362, he was a damn good player, a good person, and a great link to have for bringing paintball to people who had never heard of it or seen it before. At Ruff 'n' Tuff, we would be in the middle of getting ready for a game and he never had a problem answering someone's question, talking to fans, or signing autographs. Always joking around and a blast to have around. My regards to his family and friends, including everyone at Commander Mo's Paintball Shop and the members of the Royal Rat Rangers and Royal Angels.

Great guy, I got to play with him in Florida shortly before he passed. A loss for not only paintball but the whole world.

I was a teen when he and his brothers were hot in the music industry. Having stong ties to music myself, this hurt twice...on the music side as well as the paintball side. Smile when you think of him....the memories live in our hearts.

Ronnie is doing him proud with his work at Mo's.
