    In Memory of Tom Loizeaux

    I was informed today of the passing of a friend and fellow Forum member
    Tom Loizeaux.

    Tom took his dog out for a Saturday morning walk and suffered a massive heart attack.He was 63.

    While I didnt know Tom well,I knew him well enough to know that I liked him.

    We would spend hours discussing pro sound systems which was a new hobby for him.We also spoke about the restorations on his JBL speakers.

    He was a gifted craftsman,bass player and human being.

    His work days were filled with him as a camera operator for the local film crew union.He was involved in many large film productions.

    Goggle his name to see the depth of his involvement within the film industry.

    A picture of Tom can be seen from this link to a Lansing Heritage post he made.

    http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/s...ead.php?t=6357

    Tom appeared to be the pinnicle of health.Non smoker,proportionate weight,everything seemed to be in his favor.

    I guess none of us know how long we are destined to be here.

    I will miss you Tom.

    He is survived by his wife,daughter and son.

    Get that JBL listening room in the sky setup for all of us to enjoy Tom.

    What a shock!!!

    I'm truly saddened by this news. Oldmics, from what you said about him being a truly nice human being....that surely came out in his posts.

    Although I never met Tom personally, I felt he was a really good guy...I will miss his contributions to the forum.

    My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

    That's very sad to hear! I've always followed Tom's posts - he wasn't one to ramble on with meaningless chatter - 'always direct, and seemed like a real great guy. My best wishes for his family...

    Such a shame!
    He was real friendly - offered me lots of tips as I was putting my speakers together, very earnest and helpful.
    I'd always figured I'd head up to Baltimore and chat some day,
    'cause we weren't that far apart - but -
    ... I guess that won't happen now ...

    He was a real good guy - gone too young!

    I, too, am very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We'd spoken less than six-months ago about an equipment swap. He was also a Crown nut and asked me about the possibility of getting hold of my FM-3. We'd even talked about meeting to maybe work out a swap for some of his other Crown stuff. He was concerned about possible problems with shipping and offered to meet me in the NO.VA. area. He was a fastidious guy from what I could tell and he sent me a photo of part of his collection to show me that he'd be a good owner should I consider helping him out. We never got around to meeting even though he made a tempting offer. I'll post the beautiful photo he sent me so you all can see a bit of his passion. If the photo is deemed inappropriate under the circumstances, feel free to remove it. The odd thing is I was just looking at this photo earlier today. Very odd.

    All my best to his family and friends. Enjoy life!

    Very sorry to hear this. He and I had communicated even fairly recently via email/PM. Nice guy. Rest in peace, Tom.

    Yea, John - wow... That is truly a shocker. Awfully damned young...

    One never knows when their last time will be. Do it all, and do it right. Tom always seemed to from my discussions with him.

    I hope he suffered little, and there's someone to care for his best friend...
