I still think fondly of Al whenever I'm on this forum. Often, when there's a subject that I can contribute to or have some expertise in, I think "what would Al say in this situation." I try to follow his example of how to treat others, it's helped me to respect what others have to say.
Member Almarg passed away last night
Al ( @almarg ) passed away peacefully yesterday evening, September 14th, 2020.
Margaret, Al's wife, was by his side most of the afternoon.
Both she and Al, as well as Al's family, were deeply touched by the outpouring of respect and appreciation for Al from members who, via written word, shared so very much in the 'Update on Audiogon Member Almarg' thread.
Margaret extends her thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all members. She treasures each and every post.

My apologies if my posting on this thread, so long after Al's death, disturbs some here who have already mourned his passing. I have been away from Audiogon for five years, and I just learned of it when I returned a few days ago. I had many exchanges with Al on this forum, though I regret to say I never met him. Nevertheless, I can say without hesitation that he was the best of us. He was so kind, patient, generous, and wise. His presence on Audiogon was a gift that may never be equalled here. I learned from him how to be a better listener, a better thinker, and a better person. I have never had a more moving experience of interacting with someone whom I never met, but felt like I have always known.

I agree with all of you. Al had a wonderful combination of knowledge with humility and was a genuinely nice person. He was an asset to this site and had a calming, positive influence on even the most contentious of threads. He is certainly missed. @bryoncunningham - No worries. It is always a good thing to remember good people who have made a positive impact on others. |
