Moderators dtel Posted March 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Send a letter? I know you'll be able to convey sincere condolences while asserting your claim to your deck. Yes good idea, the family probably has no idea who those things belong to and would appreciate any help. Try calling again also, if available leave a message Edited March 18, 2016 by dtel 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hate to say so, but I suspect by the time you track that "non working" deck down you will have earned it, again. Might be best to simply say "goodbye old friend." 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 It's definitely not punny to lose a deck like that. Note: the family might not have the pin to his voicemail to access messages. A written letter/card is a great idea. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Steve, will we see you in RTM this evening? Hey Gary -- Yes, I plan on being there. Talk to you then. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Chuck--i don’t think there is a way to get your stuff back without an awkward moment first. I think a simple card with condolences and mention that you were a customer of the husband’s. Apologize for the awkwardness of asking; and tell her when she’s ready to deal with the electronic equipment to give you a call. I eat at this Mom & Pop Chinese place down the street. For the past many months, i don’t see the Pop around anymore--just the wife & son. I’m worried that he died; but, am to embarrassed to ask. Speaking of awkward, (disclaimer: my family is a bit strange) my Aunt and her brother hadn’t spoken in 15 years or so. Her brother is my Godfather. At the funeral home, she tells me that if her brother shows up that she wants me to tell him to leave that he’s not welcome there. I look at my brother and say, “what do I do? Disobey the request of a grieving widow or tell my Godfather to get lost?” Thankfully, he didn’t show up. One day at the cemetery, my Aunt sees her sister-in-law there. She tells me that she wonders if her brother died and nobody told her. Instead of going up to her sister-in-law, she decides to go to the cemetery office, give her brother’s name, and ask if he’s buried there. he wasn’t...he was still alive.

MyOwn Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 BigStewMan, Your family isn't strange at all, I couldn't help but chuckle at this.... :) One day at the cemetery, my Aunt sees her sister-in-law there.
