It appears from a thread over on Audio Circle that Tommy Obrien, founder of Digital Amplifier Company - CherryAmp - passed away a few days ago.  Not many details are available...below is a link to the Audio Circle thread.

He was  one of the brilliant designers who not only made great sounding products but always had time for his customers.  He will be missed.  Condolences and prayers to his family.

I saw that thread and was both shocked and saddened. I purchased a pair of 3 Cherry King amps from him just a couple of months ago. He was always a pleasure to talk to and deal with. I wish his children comfort and peace.

Here is a link to the Go Fund Me page to help his kids. Sounds like they are in a bit of a bind as you can imagine.

I have 4 of his amps.  Tommy had great products and great service/repairs.  I would be a Cherry bot.
