Thnx all.
Amongst Joe's most treasured possessions was his McIntosh component based system. That's what got me here to this forum.

I will be spending some time with the family, and the nephew from the movie, now a grown very remarkable adult with his own brood, advising on some of the estate re value and dispersal. The matriarch has "adopted" me as a family member, I'm quite humbled by the honor.

It's not hard to see the good in you Steve....



Even with your whacked out political stance.......... Kidding buddy!!!

Very sorry for the loss of your dear friend Steve, days like this are hard. I lost my oldest sister March 16th, so Im right there with you buddy. As we keep getting older we have more and more days like this. All we can really do is reflect on all the good times that have past, holding them dear to hearts.

I'm so sorry to hear of your losing your sister. I still have my sibs and a couple of aunts, every one else has passed on.

As a coda to the thread, here's a tribute from The Great Gray Lady for this proud McIntosh owner:

What a nice experience the two of you shared. I truly enjoyed this thread.

I'm so sad to hear of his passing. What an interesting individual he was. What an honor to have been his friend for so long.
