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.

@stimpy1226,

These past 5 months for me have been shocking, so I can appreciate how you must feel.

I can't remember a previous time when 5 people I knew have all died so close together.

Rather shockingly, the closest of them was still comparitively young. I have no idea when I will be able to accept his passing.

The regrets seem to be endless. They come and go swapping places with sadness and numbness.

These are difficult times all over and I'm sure there must be a lot of people hurting right now.

It's important that forum members like Al are remembered by his many friends here. Ultimately it's the memories that remain, and amongst the ongoing hullabaloo, and fight to keep your head above water, they will remain worth preserving.

Best wishes to you.
From my first day as an electrical engineer I met Al and we became fast friends.

Yes very knowledgeable miss him dearly, we used to get on so well, off line also, even though we were in different hemispheres.
He was a bit softer on the ones claiming BS here than I, but it was a good one two combo

Cheers George 
@stimpy1226   Neil, I forwarded your post to Margaret. Here is her response:

"Please let him know, if you can reach him, that I agree with him that we had a wonderful life together and I remember so many lovely family events we shared with his two great boys – only wonderful memories of his system!!!"

If you would like to connect with Margaret directly, please PM me and I'll pass on her contact info.
David you are a gem.

Al, we must remember Al with his grace, tenor, demeanor and true wisdom.
In remembrance of Al.   A year has passed and I miss Al and Al's presence in our forum (so much).
