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.

….very, very sad as Al had also helped me on many different occasions with great impartial advice. '' May the four winds blow you safely home ''...……..  
Didn't know him personally but could always count on Al to provide some of the best technical info on this site. He'll be missed.
So sorry to hear of Al's passing. 

Whether you dealt with Al on the various threads or directly, he was always polite, gentlemanly and so informative with his responses.

It would be a fitting tribute if members would strive to "model" future postings with the style and grace Al showed us all

He will be missed - A sad day for this forum indeed.

 
Just this past May I learned through a conversation with Al that he owned a pair of Daedalus Ulysses speakers (for the past ten years). Al said he would likely never make it out to see Daedalus’ operation, so as it happens, Daedalus Audio is 15 minutes down the road from me. With camera in hand I went down and introduced myself to the owner, Lou Hinkley and toured his operation. Once done, I sent all those picture along with a long narrative back to Al so he at least got a chance to see where his speakers originated from. I was so happy I could do this for Al.
A true gentleman, with vast amounts of knowledge. My deepest sympathy goes out to Margaret & family.
Al will truly be missed.
