Last year when Nook Schoenfeld was retiring from PLSN, I took inspiration from his Old Man Musings posts on Facebook (which frequently named names and told funny stories about his touring colleagues). In a turnabout, I asked his lighting friends to share stories about NOOK this time. I’d like to repost these stories, told in October 2021’s Designer Watch in PLSN here. When the issue came out, Nook was blown away by all the heartfelt tales. I’m so glad you guys shared these when he could have a laugh and reminisce along with you, and discover how much he meant to you. Rest in Peace, Nook.

Nook was a great man and a good friend, He was a great father & husband. We designed a few shows together. I was production manager for Kid Rock on a few dates & Nook was the LD. He was exceptional at his craft – lighting & writing. He genuinely liked & helped people. He gave me a mention in his book. Nook will be missed. Prayers for Mary Lou & the boys from the Busch family.
