RIP Tom O'Brian of the Cherry Amp Co.


Tommy, as he was widely known in the audio world, was an outgoing, cheerful, and totally winning individual. This, in addition to being an absolutely brilliant amplifier designer and manufacturer. A visit to the company websites (www.cherryamp.com) will reveal glowing reviews and testimonials from customers.

 

Tom died December 14 of complications arising from COVID 19. A single father, the leaves behind three children, Jake, 21; Athena, 18; and Brynn, 13.

@roxy54 ...then I would consider you a cruel fascist, and a despicable human being.  I don't know the answer, and I don't care.  Having pity for another's misfortune, regardless of the circumstances, is a part of being a decent member of the human race.  You, sir, have failed to achieve that status.

 

Just FYI, the roxy54 post that was removed, above, was the cause of the subsequent posts of strong criticism of roxy54. He stated that he would condition his donation to the O’Brien family GoFundMe account upon whether or not Tom had been vaccinated against Covid.
