OMG! He was so young. Prayers for his family, and what a loss for the audiophile community.
Chris Sommovigo has passed away
I just read that Chris passed away on 8/16. It was posted in reference to a new audio show start-up on PTA. I bought various cables from Black Cat Cables/Chris for many years and always received a hand-written note, prompt service, and a great set of cables.
There is a GoFundMe site as the family is left without needed funds for a proper burial.

This is very sad and tragic news, indeed. My sympathies are with his wife and children at this time and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
I sold my Insurance and Financial Services Company in 2017 when I decided to retire after 30 years, and I unfortunately met a lot of families over the years dealing with the same shock and grief that the Sommovigo's Family is facing now. Fellow forum members, if it's the last thing you do tomorrow, please make sure that in their early stages of grief, the one thing your surviving spouse and children DON'T have to worry about is where they are going to get the funds to pay for your funeral expenses. This need is even more critical if you are a business owner. DON'T force your spouse and children into a "fire sale" -- we all know that is not when they are going to get the fair market value of the business.
The Life Insurance industry and underwriting has changed drastically over the past 30 years. Health conditions that once made a person "uninsurable" now can be fixed or managed properly to the point that I rarely hear about application declinations due to "Uninsurable Medical Condition" anymore -- and Life Insurance rates are lower now than they were 20 years ago. Again, please don't put additional burdens on your Family at the most tragic time of their lives...especially when it is completely avoidable. |
@fsonicsmith do you know the name of the go fund me? |
From experience, a million dollar policy will only cost you $500 a year at 25 years old and $2500 a year at 50 years old. Jump on it. Yes, a million dollars isn't worth what it once was, but it still is a million dollars. One Million Dollars! That will make your loved ones comfortable for quite a while. And it is tax free as long as you pay for it yourself. |
