Should DU send something in rememberance of MFM?
A donation to a charity/cause? Flowers?
He was such a huge presence on DU, I just feel we should do something. Any suggestions? EDA: I only interacted with him a couple of times and I know he had a lot of friends here on DU. Anyone know if he was into any kind of causes/charities?

2. I was hoping we could.
I know he never knew this, but he helped me get through some very dark days after the loss of my dad. I think he did that for all of us ... it seemed to be his mission to give us good and often hilarious things to make the days better. I would love to donate to any cause or remembrance for such a good, kind man.

11. Excellent idea--I'm in!
I feel like I've lost one of my best friends.
Check with Kali--she'll likely know best what would be appropriate. K&R ![]() |

18. I never knew Jim's medical details but I believe they were heart related.
The American Heart Association is a wonderful charity if I can put in a plug. Good reviews with charity navigator...
That's if Kali needs suggestions... I defer to her close friendship with him. Its all so sad... |
