RIP Tom O'Brian of the Cherry Amp Co.


Tommy, as he was widely known in the audio world, was an outgoing, cheerful, and totally winning individual. This, in addition to being an absolutely brilliant amplifier designer and manufacturer. A visit to the company websites (www.cherryamp.com) will reveal glowing reviews and testimonials from customers.

 

Tom died December 14 of complications arising from COVID 19. A single father, the leaves behind three children, Jake, 21; Athena, 18; and Brynn, 13.

roxy54, I’m sorry but I choose not to respond, that is your quote above. 

I did not know Tom nor have I heard his amps. When I heard was 3 kids have lost there father on Christmas with bank accounts frozen I make a donation. Can you imagine what they are going through at this very moment, my heart and thoughts goes out to them. They need all the help from any angle and not to have there father judged by anyone.
 

All the money we spend on this hobby if you have a spare dime give to Tom’s kids they need to know people truly care. It may help them get through this knowing people really do care about there dad it also may help in the healing process.

Great everybody!  You made this about @roxy54 and not about Tommy. Wtf people?!?!?

 

it’s horrible news, he was a wonderful man even if he wasn’t vaccinated. It’s not something I agree with but I rarely blame the individual and more the community of dimwits who encourage it. 
 

He will be missed, I love his products and will miss the man.
