Title: The Love of My Life Just Passed Away !
Post by: KB3DKS on February 14, 2013, 06:41:33 PM
I have talked to many of you and met a few on AM here in the Northeast over the last 15 years or so.
My partner just passed away suddenly last week leaving me unable to financially survive past the end of the month. We had planned on spending the rest of our lives together. She was only 55.
The only things of value that I have are my moderate Boatanchor collection and a large 1200 sqft junkbox that includes my Hamshack.
There is a short list posted in the for sale section but that sees few hits unless someone is specifically looking for something.
The location here is NWestern MA, North Adams, and I need to move on as much as possible before the end of the month or Eviction will follow and all will be lost.
I have no place to go and no family, friends left. They are all gone.
Please PM or e-mail me as soon as possible if willing to stop by.
 If anyone has a truck and could stop by this would be a great load for the Marlboro Fest. I am handicapped with Rheumatoid Arthritis and cannot pick up most of this myself let alone afford a rental and gas cost.
 Moderators please excuse this post but I am desperate and only have the AM Radio family to turn to.
Bill

Hi Bill,

You have our family's deepest condolences.

We just lost a dear member as well.

I wish we were closer, and could help buy some of your stuff.

Hi Bill,

I am very sorry to hear of your loss.  Hopefully you will be able to put a financial plan together to help your situation.  I wish you well in coming up with solutions in the midst of this emotional tragedy.  Don't give up!!!

Sorry to have this happen. Wish I were closer, I like parts and incomplete things. I hope it works out somehow. If nothing else, maybe you could borrow an old enclosed trailer someone isn't using, to stash what isn't sold immediately. God bless you.

Very sorry for your loss, Bill. It can't be easy to try to deal with that along with possible eviction too.

Maybe Steve/WA1QIX and some of the crew up there can spread the word or otherwise lend a hand. He's in the neighborhood and a regular attendee of the Marlboro 'fest.

So sorry for your loss.  If I were only closer than Arkansas.  Good luck.

Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement guys!
It really helps!
This just overwhelms me.
Not only do I have to deal with Terri's death but her mother passed last June and we had not yet begun to sort out her personal effects.
It will take awhile and when some of my radio gear goes to better homes there will be less pressure on me.
Thanks Again !
