bump... God, that sucks, just found out. RIP/

bump ... it really works ...

Hope that didn't come out wrong. I too am fairly sick and I have two people that cannot work that I almost completely support financially.

If I was in a better position I would help, that is why I asked if there was a program I could try to send a few sales to.

I did not mean to be rude in my previous post. Personally, I feel like I have already give to David through my higher taxes which go towards public assistance.

Someone posted that public funds are diminished in the case where people earn money. That is true, but many people game the system and do not accurately report their income (in other words, they lie). I have no information to suggest that is the case here.

However, this matter highlights and supports my feelings about giving and charity and public assistance in general. In my opinion, because of the huge numbers of people who lie, cheat, and game the system, virtually all public social programs are inherently fraudulent and call into question all participants.

In my opinion, it is the local churches, local charities, friends, and family who are in the best position to determine if charity is truly deserved. I say kudos to all the generous people on this board who knew David and who donated. That is how it is supposed to work. The government and the taxpayers are better left out.

It is extremely nice and kind of people to donate to his widow. I admire them for this, and I extend my sincere condolences to her.

Thank you for creating this - I donated to help with finances and I also send heart felt thoughts for her heart healing.

This needs a bump.

A huge thank you to those of you who have donated and those of you who send your condolences. Unfortunately Julia is not a member of this board and cannot see the this thread but wanted me to thank everyone for remembering David.

Let's keep this thread going and donations as well. ASM has helped a lot of folks in this biz either with his knowledge, time, or even just friendship.

Can't she log on as ASM and see?

back on top again , bump

I told her to try, but not sure how pw protected he had his gear, she's not one to spend any time online shy of email.

For those of you who prefer to reach out to her directly, feel free to email her:

She would love to hear from David's friends and even those who just want to send her some regards. It's kind of lonely now for her and really quiet.
