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.

My condolences to Margaret and family. I've had a heavy heart since hearing the news of Al's illness. As I logged onto the forum each day, there was a noticeable absence, I'm sure other members felt it as well.
Al was the elder statesmen of Audiogon, we all appreciated the knowledge he shared, how devoted he was to problem solving, and his respect and kindness toward all of us.

I will truly miss the email notifications stating "You have a message from Almarg."

I hope there will be beautiful music for Al during his final rest.


His knowledge was exceeded only by his kindness. Truly one of a kind and he will be deeply missed.
I was deeply saddened to learn that Al was ill.  I am even sadder to learn about his passing. 

Al and I traded many online and offline  messages over the years.  Al always taught me something new and interesting. 

I really cannot add much more to what has already been said above.  Every kind comment and recollection is all so true, and yes, he is and will be missed.

May Ha Shem comfort Margaret and her family.

Baruch Dayan Emmes.

Thank you so much David for acting as the conduit between this board and Al’s family. It is with great sadness that we receive this news. I wish the best to Margaret and her family as they work through this trying time. Al will indeed be missed. While we are all saddened, we must also remember to celebrate a life well lived, which it sure sounds to me that Al led. So let’s be glad that we were able to have him among our community and let us honor him as we move forward by asking ourselves, What would Al do? I wish peace and condolences to all.
