Lives Elsewhere
This community has lost several members. We post up threads in their honor and share our memories of the departed members. We dont necessarily forget these people, but after a short time, the thread gets lost in the history of the site.

I respectfully suggest these "final" threads of memories have a special place and not be lost to cyber space.

Mary, I can't find "Irene's" Post #80295 where she noted Peter's passing ....

Looks like Peter Gombos has been having health issues since last year. According to his wife Irene, Peter passed away early this morning 13 June 2012. :( More details here >>>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80295&highlight=peter

R.I.P. Peter. You will be missed here on the MM.Net.

Ever since the tragedy with Alex, this has been on my mind. Thanks for all the support of the idea.

And for a twist, I would suggest it be heavily moded by Admin. In fact, perhaps they should be the only ones to post the new thread once the passing is verified as official.

Not sure that I fully understand the intent here ^^^^^ Charlie. Does this prevent a family member, relative or friend close to the situation from making the announcement? Seems it is more timely and relevant to get the info from the source rather than delay of a mod thread. JMHO. The thread can be moved to the "Memorial Section" by the mods later if necessary.

As to "heavily modded", I am not so sure about that either. Unless something is totally inappropriate or highly insensitive, comments should stand as posted to reflect the individuals thoughts and condolences at the time.

Thank you , Thank you Charlie-- I cannot believe we all have been thinking these thoughts and couldn't see our noses to say it --we all are so DUH!

Once again--Thanks for clearing our thoughts for such a great idea/thought for us all to appreciate --as well as families involved. After all, we all are memories of each other whom we have shared so many together.
 
Maybe something along the lines of a stickied thread in the Community Discussion subforum, titled similarly to this thread, wherein each post is for one member, containing their name, picture, and their respective memorial thread as a link?


As if it isn't clear by this post, I very much second this proposal of a memorial compilation. If there are no other good things one could say about this community, that one thing would be that when you are in the family, you are IN the family, and you may as well be blood-related. I've never encountered another online car club similar in this way, and this proposed thread would only further show that bond in this club.
 
During Marauderville V (MV5) in Hagerstown, MD the planning team commemorated the passing of two members ......

For "Hitchhiker" and "Skotty702" .....

Details can be hammered out later. Anyone can post in the forums, but yes, once the info is deemed legit, then the mods move the threads as necessary.

Heavily modded is heavily worded. But you caught my gist. We tend to get off topic here and there. If the remarks made do not reflect the member appropriately, then...:banned: the remark.
 
It's a great idea, but there are many of us that don't have a significant other capable of informing even our close friends when that time comes.

I'm turning 70 next Thursday (1/31). Time to start thinking about the inevitable.

Folks that die in their 60's, most people say "he died so young". Folks that die in their 70's, "he led a good life". That one digit makes a big difference. Just a fact of life.

I gave my wife an email address list of those that I keep in touch with on a regular basis to let them know..............

None of the chatboxes that I frequent are on that list.
