I like the concept....happy to implement after the Christmas season. Keep posting forum name suggestions and I'll pick one that is appropriate.

Joe,
It is a great idea. So many, Roy, Russ, EDM ....
I am reminded of the Kipling poem, "Follow me Home"
There was no one like 'im, 'Orse or Foot,
Nor any o' the Guns I knew;
An' because it was so, why, o' course 'e went an' died,
Which is just what the best men do.
So it's knock out your pipes an' follow me!
An' it's finish up your swipes an' follow me!
Oh, 'ark to the big drum callin',
Follow me -- follow me 'ome!
Pete

What a great Kipling poem, Pete! Maybe it could be a sticky at the top of the forum. Thanks for sharing it. Won't be long 'fore many of us are added to the list....

There are so many that I would like to thank but they are gone. It would be nice to have a site for them. Great idea. Frank A very good reminder to thank them while they are here. When they're gone it's too late. Maybe, "The Last Peg". SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I LOVE Kipling, ever since a boy.
I dearly recall anout 7 years ago, after I posted the death of my dear Brit, a fellow member(s) added two Kipling poems to the thread, "Why a Dog" was one, can't remember the second. They were printed at the time and are somewhere around this packrat's house.
Anyway, it was a dear thing to do and I appreciated it.
Sorry to drift from the OT, which is, of course, a wonderful idea.
Just one more thing which makes this site and the folks on it so special.

Dave, you must have in mind an arbiter to choose those worthy in the pantheon of the greats, eh? Joe's idea is a good one. It's a responsibility of citizenship and camaraderie to honour, pay tribute, to cite accomplishments and the living to a high standard of human values. Most of us who've been here for a while know who they are. Little could improve on sentiments expressed at time of their deaths. It's no easy task to choose, marking the particular significance of their passing, so that commemoration is a special place and not another obituary column.

Why not put all passing members in? Saves the "voting" or "culling". Make a rule that posts be kept civil and respectful, anyone could post pics and memories about the person. We might find that some of our members were much more than we see here.
