Hi Pete,

jackgiff's last post was in this thread, a search of his previous posts does not give any indication of why he would leave.

Sadly...go into his info and profile post, and member "pillofight" has posted a link to his (possible?) obituary on December 12, 2015. I don't know either gents real name, so cannot get much further.

I didn't think to look at profile posts - thanks, and RIP Jack Gifford.
We've lost so many in the last decade, very sad.

That link has expired. However, I did a search on his name and location and found this:

Good to put a face with the name. Knew Jack had passed, but missed the Obit. Bought some nice Marantz gear from him in the early 2010s when he was downsizing his collection.

Wow, he passed in the town I live in! Sadly we never met. I know of the company he started here and that had closed down a number of years ago. A friend got some of the leftovers of that company and passed on to me two parts cabinets full of resistors! I also knew some people that had worked there awhile back.
