I Cried Today


I know what what I am about to say will not have any direct meaning to most of you reading this, but I cried today about a person I never met.  I repaired and upgraded this persons audio preamp and power amplifier.  He was suffering from cancer.  He wanted to do this for his son so that he could enjoy music like every person here does.  He shipped his components to me and they were recently returned.  The other day I found out that he passed a month ago from his illness.  We had many conversations about music and audio over the past several months.  I got to know him as a person.  He loved his family, and he loved music.  Although I never met him, I got to know him.  He was a fine human being, loved life, and was a fine gentleman.  I guess that is what life should be all about.

Anyway, I cried today knowing that John Hoffman is no longer on this earth and now he is with GOD.  I hope there is a fantastic audio system playing music for you to hear John.  Happy Listening and Rest in Peace.

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.

What a touching post, a reminder for us all to keep things in perspective. Thanks for sharing this story.

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

All the best,
