    I know several of you are Facebook friends with Artie or maybe had other channels of communication.  I would like to request if any of you see information regarding obituary or memorial services if you could please post here.  I would very much like to know if and when his family has made any "in lieu of flowers" request and I'd also like to know his parents' address so I might make a donation to MRF in his memory.  I'm hesitate to post someones personal address on this site but if you could message it to me that would be great.  I'm not sure if his parents knew how much he was loved by this site but I think it would be a wonderful gesture if there was a fundraising effort in his honor.  Right now on the MRF donation page I don't see a way to let the family know the donation would be from Artie's MPIP family but maybe someone on the MRF staff can help us with that. 

    Thanks,

    Brian

      Well said, Brian. His parents have endured a great deal…financial and otherwise…if there was anything I could do to help, or to honor them and Artie, I would very much like to. C

      I think that is a GREAT idea….as someone who lost a brother to cancer at the age of 36, and watched parents bury a child, i know it was very comforting for then to receive, notes, cards, donations in his name and more.

      I too am happy to help in any way…..

      MAybe Tim (from MRF) could help in some way to provide an address, though not sure regarding provacsy issues….it would be great for his family to receive  cards, donations to MRF, and remembrances in Arties name.

        What is Artie's last name?  I've read his posts from the beginning and never knew his whole name.  So, so very sad to hear of his passing.

        Yes, Brian.  I agree.  I would like to donate in Artie's memory and would like his parents and family to know how much he meant to us.  It won't be the same without Artie.  I loved all his" I dunno's" and just how personable he responded.  He was so caring.  I hope Tim from MRF will help us and perhaps someone can get some information as to how we could send our sympathies to his parents.  They must be so crushed.  He fought so hard and they did too.  Gosh, he was only 48.  Many tears for this sweet young man who really did all he could to win the battle.   Very brave guy.
