Last night at midnight I received a call that my nephew had died. He had been feeling ill and laid down to take a nap earlier around 6pm and he never woke up. He was recovering from a surgery he had which put him on leave for a month from work. He had a blood clot in his arm which was caused from a vein wrapped around a rib which both the rib and clot had to be removed. We had just started getting back together after an extended absence from one another. He was part of my family raised by my parents for the 1st half of his life. He was just like a little brother whom I always looked out for making sure nobody hurt him and if they did I was the one they had to answer too. I loved him dearly and will miss him deeply I am just all torn inside as is my wife who adored him just as much.

Sorry to hear that Dave. I offer you my deepest condolences. May he rest in peace.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

My deepest condolances Dave.
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all -
That's just a tragedy.
May he walk in the Light.
Prayers & Condolences. -
