I Cried Today

Thank you for sharing that beautiful story. R.I.P. John

People here know the feeling of being lifted to another level of feeling and community that's why your post was so special.

Thank you.

@bigkidz Your post left me misty eyed.  May God bless you for sharing it with us.

I just sat down to read the paper tonight, and saw @bigkidz post.

Needless to say, the paper hit the floor, unread.

My thoughts are with Mr Hoffman and his selflessness in thinking of someone else's joy while facing his own mortality, and for kidz to remind us all how fragile we are. 

This forum tonight made me feel connected to you all.

The love of music is the love of life.

Peace 

Thank you for sharing your tribute and remembrance of Mr. Hoffman.

Such a beautiful post---thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks for sharing!  

@bigkidz thanks for posting your heartwarming experience.

When people pass away, I’m reminded to examine my life - I’m hoping to be ready with no regrets of not trying.  I also try to practice Gratitude - that I’m blessed that they were in my life.  

When we're pummeled every day with a constant stream of Man's inhumanity to Man, what a wonderful reminder that there's much more good in the world than bad, it just doesn't get the press. Thank you for sharing. Your post is a testament to two good men.

Sorry to hear about your dad, qjm101. Wishing you peace.

Thanks for sharing a wonderful, painful story, Bigkidz.

My father just died yesterday at the age of 92. I grew up listening to his 78's and I still love old jazz to this day.

Thank you.

Such a warm and tender story.

Rest in peace John.

Cancer sux!

Lovely. 
 

Thank you for sharing that. 
 

Goosebumps and watery eyes…

You seem like a wise man, thanks for sharing. 
 

God is good.
 

R..I.P John, glad to see no cancelling God on this forum ,Amen.

@bigkidz Thank you for sharing this sitting here tearing up having just read it. Very touching and another example of music keeping us connected here and after.

Hopefully John's son will have some great memories every time he plays music through his system.    

Thanks for sharing that story. Life is precious and everything else amounts to a hill of beans!

Touching story. Good to read of people who still feel for others. I always like your posts, @bigkidz

I hope that living spirit of John Hoffman will enjoy your good job on his preamp in after-world.

That will definitely happen if his son invoke the living spirit.

Peter thank you.There are few left like John. ...

Very moving, the human spirit is still alive!  Thanks for sharing.

Moving testimony... Thanks a lot ....

Kindness and empathy seem to be missing in our world oftentimes. It is uplifting to see examples and know it is out there. Thank you for sharing.

Acts of humanity are in short supply these days.

Thank you for sharing your story.

ah Peter you are such a great soul. Peace and grace to you and to the Hoffman family. Godspeed to John.
