Reply #27: I approached one of the mods and asked

what we could do here on the DU to help him or his mom, at the least send her flowers and some cash to help, they said they'd pass it along to the admins and so I've been waiting to see what might pop up -- I thought about setting up a Paypal donation site for his family but didn't want to overstep any bounds here - don't know what to do in a situation like this.

He was such an important part of this community that I felt he deserved something from the DU --

Tho I agree with the sentiments here, I wonder how his mother is doing, I know that funerals can get pretty expensive and most people can use some help in that area.

Thanks for doing THIS at least.

He does deserve the best, as he was one of the very best in our group.

I'll miss his posts and mind terribly, but his spirit is living on.
