Sue Kraft

So, im not sure if any of you remember her, she was a reviewer in a few magazines over the years, her name even pops up in reference here on some equipment.

Sadly she passed away recently due to some health complications. She was the audiophile in the family, and as such much of her work flew over my, her nephew’s head, but i wish it all stuck more as I’ve been thrusted into this world.

It was her passing that brings me here, to inform anyone that may have had the pleasure of knowing her, and also, in trying to find a home for her home full of equipment. Admittedly I’ve been swamped by myriad of terminology, brands and devices quite foreign to me, as i only shared my aunt’s automotive passion. To this end, i appreciate all the help and information I’ve received from here already, and keep an eye out for some of her gear as well. Again, thank you. I’ve enjoyed seeing her work at every turn almost the past few days.

Yesterday I found out about Sue's passing. It was a hard day already being the 15yr anniversary of my husband's death but my husband was an organ donor and Sue received his pancreas and a kidney. My heart broke all over again yesterday when I tried to call her and the number was disconnected. 

I never met Sue in person. She hunted down my phone number after the letter I wrote to the organ recipients. When we talked we'd talk for hours. She always said she felt a special bond between her and my husband. Not just because of the organs. They both loved music and equipment. The sad part is Sue lived in Green Bay, WI. I live only an hour south. 

Does anyone have a picture of Sue? I want to see the woman who brought me tears of joy and hope the last 15 years. Please contact me psboden202@yahoo.com

Hello Pam.
I used to live up in Wisconsin (Rhinelander) and frequently visited a HiFi shop in Green Bay that from what I understand, Sue went to often. The times I was at the store I was always hoping to run into her there, but was never fortunate to do so. She obviously had a keen ear for good music and it's reproduction.

Rest assured she's in a better place. Your husband gave the ultimate sacrifice and Sue was all the better for it.

My condolances for the loss of your husband and friend Sue.
