Have you recently lost a close audiophile buddy? What has it taught you?

Losing a friend is losing a part of your life. In the past five years or so I have lost my best friend (a fellow audiophile), my brother, and my parents.

It is a sorry thought to think that everyone we have ever met or loved will die. But that is the lesson of this life. 

Music is the one happy constant in my life. It endures: another lesson.
