Coach I passed away July 12, 2008. Rest in peace.

 

How about a sticky thread with their names and profiles posted with the "In Memory" status designated?

 

And keep them as subscribed members so that in Coachi's case his avatar and profile pic won't dissapear

 

A 'will be remembered' member? something of the sort?

 

Great idea.

Don't forget Jens H. and Amir

 

Benjamin Miles Keaton (01/15/1966 - 06/02/2005)
Corey Rudl (? - 06/02/2005)

I remember it as if it was yesterday.. they crashed in Bens Carrera GT at some trackday.

And offcause Jens and Amir as mentioned above. I still have Jens' signature in my sig

 

I second all the above.

 

Coachi is still in use....
JRV....don't have his dates, Jeremy '512M' would......

"Ya just don't 'get it', do ya Alan?"

Rings in my ears, all the time........

 

Terry Shields (ts328)

Stackhouse would have the dates...

This is a GREAT idea! Put in the Subscribed section.

One day........PAP 348 will be in that thread and it will be inspiration for my son (when I have him) to post in my honour.

 

Great idea. Too bad it's going to have a fair population to start

BTW, if I ever quit posting for over a week, somebody might should call Mrs. Uro.

 

Would she know what you were banned for???

J/K !!!!!!!

This thread makes me sad.

I like the idea, they need to be honored.

 

excellent thread idea. should be a sticky somewhere for it, or a separate forum title for those who are racing in the clouds now.

 

I haven't been here that long, but it sounds like a great idea!

 

It would be cool to have a section (F-Chat Fallen Heroes or Hall o Fame...) , the individual can have his/her own thread where others can post photos, or say a few words to the departed.
IMO, Putting them all in one thread (Sticky) would be messy and unorganized.


a set of rules should be implemented in respect of those who are named in the section, and make it so that Mods are the ones who can create/merge threads to avoid any disrespect from any Trolls creating bogus threads.

Just my .02

 

Another idea is ...

If you do create another section to honor those who have passed on, in addition to including sections for "Members"

Consider also sub sections within this section to honor "Celebrities" ( Actors, Race Drivers..) and "Faithful Companions" (dogs, cats...) and maybe even "That Old Car" to lighten things up a bit.

Just my .02

 

I don't think(most of the time) that putting this in the subscribed section would be a good thing for instance what if the deceased members wife, family, friends would like to read our post of the member they would have to subscribe which is asking a lot just to see if their loved one was remembered.

It should be made accessible to all especially their families in fact F-chat should send out a sympathy card stating that we will be honoring the deceased and giving them information on how to log on to FC. I mean who knows the members Ferrari might get passed down the family tree.

 

You actually make a good point Roberto!

Was only a suggestion. I am sure if it happens, it will be done right.

 

Rob,

I don't know the details... I remember Stackhouse started a tread in memory of Terry when he passed away, had a photo of him with his 328...
