Just received some really sad news...

Unfortunately, I have just received news that an absolutely beloved customer of ours, and one of our most active and friendliest forum members has just passed.

We know him here in our community as Pet Motel..... I am going to miss him dearly.

I am in the process of trying to find out more info and if there is anything we can do to assist his loved ones at this time.

This hurts....

I'm very sorry to hear that, and hope that his family gets the support they need to get through this.

So sorry to hear this. Keep us posted if you find a way we can help.

Wow...sad indeed. He was definitely a loyal & active fan...here on the forum. I wondered why he wasn't present during the LX news...now we can all understand and he'll be missed.:(

My condolences to the family. I really enjoyed his participation on this forum.

[curtis]

Very sad. Condolences to all.
Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Oh gosh. I’m so sorry to hear this. Is this Jay?

[Mag_Neato]

Sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family (including "extended" family).

Yes...

[merrymaid520]

Yes...

If I recall correctly, (I think he’s from the WI or Midwest area) he had stopped by my place to listen to my ascends years ago! Life’s too short….

Awful news... Thoughts and prayers for family and friends.

[tknice]

Very sad indeed. Sending prayers to his family and friends.

Dave, if you find anything out, please share what you can with us—if there's anything we can do for his family, for example... Just awful.

That is just horrible. I think he has young kids.

By chance, I ended up purchasing his Sierra Tower and Sierra-2EX speakers (replied to a sale listing not knowing it was petmotel’s) as his friend is coordinating the sale of some of his audio equipment. Hopefully the quick cash is helpful for his family.

I have been in touch with Jay's friend (who is helping the family) and Jay's wife. I have let them know our wonderful community wants to help, but have yet to hear back from his wife on this, I will give them all the time and space they need, hopefully I will hear back from her sometime in the near future.

Jay's passing was a complete surprise and he is missed by many, including me...
