As most of you know, my life partner of 40 years, Arlee del Rosario, passed away in January. I am going to have to mercilessly downsize because I can no longer afford our large two-bedroom apartment alone.
I'm already deep into the process of "uncovering, discovering, discarding." With the help of friends I've taken four truckloads of stuff to Goodwill and have sent nine large boxes of more stuff to the Philippines. Now I'm delving into the vacuum cleaners. The following are free for the taking to whomever can come get them. (I live in Los Angeles.) There will be more to come in the weeks ahead but this is the first load. Consider it safe to assume that if you don't see it, I don't have it. PLEASE, NO REQUESTS FOR SHIPPING. I just can't deal with that.

Wow
First off my condolences for your loss. I can only imagine how hard it must be.
It's very generous to you give awY your life's collection you passionately built. If you need anything feel free to let me know. I may be a smart @$$ but I know your a good person and I'd be more than willing to help if I can. | ||

So Sad
Charles, I'm so sorry to hear about Arlee's passing. Sending my deepest condolences to you and hoping you will find comfort in the memories of good times you had together. May he rest in peace.
Hoping the collectors in your area will come and get the vacuums and parts you are offering. I did see a few in the pictures that I would be interested in, but I'll have to pass on them since shipping is not available. But I do hope you find homes for all of them. Again, deepest condolences to you, Jeff | ||

Charles,
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I don’t know what to say, other than to echo what’s already been said. It’s very generous of you to offer your collection, or parts of it, to others. Like John, I’m going to need to thin out my collection as well. But, for much different reasons. I wish you all the best in your new chapter. | ||

Very sorry to read of your partner's passing, Charles. You've got some treasures there and no doubt they'll be easy to re-home! | ||
