All:
Its with a sad and heavy heart that I announced the passing of big Michael A Liberio, aka blzatrl123 here on AK. Mike is a passionate Klipsch and JBL lover and its well loved in the audiophile community in Illinois/Wisconsin. Mike passed away tragically on July 25, 2019 and a gave our memorial gathering honoring his life was held yesterday in Bartlett, IL. A number of us in the area was able to attend and extend our condolences to his mom and sister.
Mike is one of the nicest and most unflappable guys I ever met. He is a regular on robie's annual AK gathering and is constantly tinkering with his he-man rig. I had the honor of visiting with Mike and his home earlier this year and really enjoyed his system. Mike inspired me to get my own set of Dynaco Mark 3 monoblocks and turn me towards vintage JBL monitors. His customized KLF30s are flat out awesome!
Mike will be sorely missed. "TURN IT UP" my friend.

Kind words.
I don't remember running across Mike. He sounds like a nice guy ( for lack of better words).
I'm always saddened when I see one of us go. Thanks for sharing.
 
Thank you, Kwing. Mike was the best!

I mentioned this as well as the upcoming get togethers, the first one on August 18th, here.

Very saddened when any AK'er leaves us. A salute to and RIP to blzatrl123. Mike, I only wish I'd known you in person. You and I shared common interests. When I score my first pair of Heresies, I'll play something in memoriam.
 
RIP and my prayers and condolences to friends and family.

RIP, Mike. I don't believe our paths crossed here on AK and that's a shame because I think I would have liked you.

Thanks to kwingylee for sharing the sad news.
 
I think the Wall of Remembrance is a wonderful thing, everyone. Thank you AK staff. I was just looking at an old post yesterday, and saw Dshoaf's RIP and his years in his avatar. Such a clean, respectful way to let others know, and to remind us.

RIP to bizatrl123, may his family remember the good times.
 
What a loss for our group! This guy was such a delight to talk with. Always a smile on his face and such a welcoming friendly attitude. I looked forward to seeing him every year.
