One ahead of me Dave.....I'll try to catch up. Anyone remember what Boxx's drink was.....besides Dos Equis?
Boxx was a wine aficionado I believe … not sure what his favorite bottle was. If Tigerman stops by, he can answer that -- he and Boxx talked about wine often.
I just dropped a hint on RTM to show up here.

Once when a Dos Equis commercial came on, I said "there's Boxx"!
My wife looked at me like I was odd, then I told her who Boxx was….she laughed.

Does anyone know who the man in the avatar actually was?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Goldsmith
Other than BOXX, of course
-
I can see BOXX shaking his head in disapproval over the gas discussion
Thanks for the likes guys. Trying to keep it light, as Boxx would want.

Since I'm drinking a dark beer & reading the toasts to Boxx. Considering his avatar & screen-name I wonder if the XX may have something to do w/ another dark beer?

I suspect we’d get along Carl…just the other day i was visiting relatives. They were all hanging out on the back porch talking. I went out there and every single one of them got up and went inside. I stood there and LOUDLY complimented myself on still being able to clear a room.Not the first time I've sat in a room by myself wondering where the hell everyone was. Sadly, it won't be the last.I had a dachshund who could do that.
There's nothing worse than a Cat w/ gas. The food smells bad going in!

Greeting Friends and Welcome … The Lord allots us a certain number of days in this life—it would do us well to take the time to do some serious self-examination as to how we are going to use them. If we choose to spend our lives solely in pursuit of selfish gain, always putting ourselves above others – this room will be empty when our time ends.
Boxx chose a vocation that has the goal of helping others. Why? I wish I could have sat with him, listening to tunes and talking about life; perhaps then I’d know what made him such a kind, caring soul. So I will just consider Boxx to have been a blessing. One of those people that you meet and walk away knowing something good just happened to you.
Just because Boxx was a forum friend, doesn’t make him any less a friend. If we’re genuine, so are the friendships that we form here.
Undoubtedly, if it had been one of us, Boxx would have been one of the first to say something poignant. He contributed greatly to this forum, whether it was a kind word or an epic .gif – he was here, for all of us. Miles away; but, still reaching out.
Words can’t fully ease the heartache that we feel right now – I don’t think they’re supposed to. Words aren’t magic. There is a lesson in our pain. Boxx was a teacher and through his passing may he continue to teach us to value our friendships. May he teach us that we must not take for granted our time, our purpose, our relationships—none of which we created, none of which we own; but all of which have been entrusted to us. May he teach us that we are all just passing through this life and we should strive to leave each other in a better condition than when we met.
Mourn, it’s okay to do that; but, don’t only mourn—I suspect that Boxx would want us to smile when we remember him. He tried to make the lives of others better … and he succeeded.
I salute you Boxx. I miss you, and I’m grateful to have known you my friend.
Steve
I'll drink to that!

I'm not sure how this thread works. But that said, I've got my favorite 'local' beer in it's official glass ready to toast in tribute to Boxx. “Salute” “Cent’ Anni”

Was it worth taking the day off to wear the most uncomfortable clothes I own, driving an hour and a half through Dallas traffic, fighting my social anxiety to be part of a crowded room full of strangers?
For this man and his family, most certainly yes. I am truly grateful to have been a small part of today's events, to meet Boxx's family, and to celebrate a life well lived. In overhearing conversations, his eulogy, and brief conversations with his family is was evident that Boxx was the same here as he was everywhere else.
A wonderful husband, a doting father, a loyal friend .. he was goofy and loved to have a good time, always welcoming, intelligent, and most certainly a music lover. So the Boxx we knew was the Boxx everyone knew, and that warms my soul.
Alex, the soundtrack you put together was a perfect amalgam of his favorite artists and it was as though he made it himself. Great selections that had me tapping my toes and recalling fond memories of late night jam sessions. His eulogy was presented by his best friend and also included a beautiful message by Boxx's daughter Genevieve. A few musical selections were played as well, including "Time" and "High Hopes" - I think Boxx would have loved these selections for not only the personal importance they have in his family's life, but also the fact that he got a full chapel of multi-generational people to sit through two very slow Alan Parsons and Pink Floyd songs. I cried the whole time.
Dave and the PAW: you guys knocked it out of the park with the flowers. Thank you for taking that initiative and making it happen so quickly.
Forum guys: It was both weird and humbling to represent a whole segment of people that could have easily doubled the number of people in attendance. I know this forum, and all of the love and support put forth by its members, means a great deal to the family. If any of you were there, my apologies for not seeking you out. So many people in such a tight space started to overwhelm me and I needed to duck out.
Boxx family: Thank you for alerting us so quickly and allowing us to support you and grieve with you. It would have been just as easy to let us know retroactively, or not at all. It was indeed a privilege to to be there in honor of your husband and dad.
Alex and Genevieve: I sincerely hope you guys stick around and interact from time to time, continuing your dad's legacy and leaving your own mark. I really appreciate you taking the time to speak with me and I'd really like to get to know you more, here or "offline". I thoroughly enjoyed your dad and it's clear that his influence is found in you both, and that makes me think I'd enjoy you as well.
Michele: Thank you for sharing your husband with us. He spent a ton of time here, but it should never be considered a wasted effort - our lives are enriched as a result of knowing him. I have no doubt your support network is vast, but please don't ever hesitate to reach out to the brothers of Klipsch if you need anything.
Stay thirsty my friend.

Okies, this is what we've asked for. Yellow rose of Texas for a fine Texan. The card will say "From your friends of the Klipsch Community."
Of course, the banner will be printed nicer and the whole thing won't look exactly like this, but we've faith the florist will get close. It's a bit over 300.00, but we will make up any shortfall.
As mentioned, donations via PayPal to damallette@mallette.org. If you can't do PayPal you can handle it as you see fit.
Many thanks to the Perfect Audiophile Wife for handling the design details and florist.
Regards,
Dave
Very nice. Donation sent via PayPal.

Dear Alex & Family,
I'd like to extend my deepest condolences to you & the family on the sudden passing of Boxx.
As a relative newcomer to the forum & my all too briefly developed online rapport w/ Boxx. I could only surmise that he was a man of the highest caliber, who epitomized the definition of a class act. Thanks to your fond anecdotes & recollections of your Dad. It verified that judgement of his character. His passion for art, music & insight into nameless other subjects was an inspiration. And is something to which we all could aspire to emulate. He will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on in all the hearts of those he touched. I feel privileged to have known him via his online persona & can only share a portion of the sense of loss. Compared to that which those who knew him intimately must be feeling. My sincerest sympathies & prayers are with you all.
