Really sad to hear about Jason. Prayers to his friends and family.
I don't know what to say. I talked to him last week. I'm still kind of in shock. He's one of the main reasons I started collecting. I'm glad I got to meet him once. He paid for mine and my girlfriend Shakey's pizza in Anaheim. He took my credit card out of my hand like he was going to pay with it and threw it on the floor so i coundnt pay. He said "get me next," it hurts to know that the next time will be in another life. I can go on and on and bore everyone here about the conversations he and i had, but i won't, because i know how much he meant to all of us. He knew i was a sucker for something new and "limted edition." When i saw his name on my phone i knew i was about to spend around $300. Im a guaranteed sale and was a pretty much a sure thing! much like all of us here, i wish i got to say a proper goodbye. So today, I'm wearing my shiny silver All-Ins with the custom silver faded to blue lenses (probably my favorite lens he made for me). He made the weather outside gorgeous just so i could! Kaz, you're missed, you're loved and in the words of Peter Venkman, see ya on the other side! Cheers, my friend!
Thanks to everyone on here that has reached out to me the day or so. i love all you guys! it's everyone here and J that made is hobby a true family!

Great idea gio, count me in, whatever it takes.I was thinking maybe we could do something to remember him, and to help his kids for the very little we could do. if anybody has thought about something and can talk to his family I don’t have practical ideas but I’m open to suggestions
Such a lovely heartfelt post, well said brother.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Jason in person and only spoke via email, but I knew I was communicating with a gentleman.
This small community can't all be together in the same room, so pour yourself a large one my friends, put on your favourite Initium frame and make a toast....."To Jason, a genuine gentleman, successful businessman, and kind hearted soul, who touched and enriched so many people's lives across the globe without even having to meet them, you won't be forgotten, you live on in us, rest in peace".....
I propose we do this every year on this very day and keep his legendary eyewear legacy alive.
Makes you realise how fragile, precious and short life is.
Right there with you on that... Last spoke to him a few weeks ago and I didn't get the sense anything was up at all until I saw post from him on Facebook about his health, but he didn't say much, which I can respect.I don't know what to say.

I have the black MT Bromley's too and mine are the same, I thought the logo might have been silver at some point and that it had worn off, but your pic reinforces that the logo is probably just black.Congrats you whomever got the Red/burgundy Bromley on poshmark!! You lucky person!!
Anyone have the black pair and can answer me a question... What color is the logo on the temple tip, mine is black. I can't find pics of it anywhere on the internets

You're a GD machine!!! Thanks!! I'm with you, I thought the paint wore off too. I was about to have my sister-in-law make silver stickers for me because I figured that is what I had to be.I have the black MT Bromley's too and mine are the same, I thought the logo might have been silver at some point and that it had worn off, but your pic reinforces that the logo is probably just black.
The frames in your pic are, I think, Giorgio Armani "Garconne" AR7019-K 5017 gloss black frame 54□18 145 with custom yellow lenses...

I couldn't find any reference pics either and making the logo silver was on my to do list, but thanks to you, that box is ticked, I now know it's supposed to be black!!You're a GD machine!!! Thanks!!
