This is a major loss for the family and friends who knew him personally, but those of us who only knew him via this forum also feel the loss.
I'm not usually fond of collecting money, but in this case, I think it worthy of consideration. Whether for his family (if needed) or for the continuing betterment of the BA.com community. From the few PM's we had, I know he was always working on ways to keep this site growing. I don't recall him ever asking for money, but he always responded with thanks.
As he said; "If you find value in what you see here, please contribute to BonnevilleAmerica.com." I'm sure that there are many of us who would like to contribute in memory of all the hours he spent to keep us going.
