Barb, I have attempted several times to post since reading of Pats death. Everytime I began to write seemed so shallow and empty. I really didn't know what to say.
I never met Pat, never spoke to Pat and never exchanged emails with Pat. But I do remember when I first asked a question on here about my lowly Technics turntable, Pat was one of the few to respond. He didn't tell me to get rid of that peice of junk, he told me things that might improve it to where it would bring me more enjoyment.
I have followed this thread from it's start and have shed many tears, both from sadness and from joy. Like many people, I gravitated to Lugnuts posts. He had what I wanted. An attraction rather than promotion thing. It wasn't his stereo or records that I wanted. It was much more than that. I wanted his compassion, kindness, honesty and caring and helpfulness to others. He let us see deep into his soul, which I find very difficult to do with those I know, let alone strangers on a website. In this world of corruption, cheating, self grandeur, Pat was a truly remarkable person.
I know I will miss him.
Thank you for continuing to share Pat with us. I will have my lowly Technics turntable tweaked to Lugnut specifications loaded with Neil Young Sunday afternoon in his honor. May he rest in peace.
Gracie is a beautiful name for the dog!! I love it.
Steve
