    Maybe something along the lines of a stickied thread in the Community Discussion subforum, titled similarly to this thread, wherein each post is for one member, containing their name, picture, and their respective memorial thread as a link?


    As if it isn't clear by this post, I very much second this proposal of a memorial compilation. If there are no other good things one could say about this community, that one thing would be that when you are in the family, you are IN the family, and you may as well be blood-related. I've never encountered another online car club similar in this way, and this proposed thread would only further show that bond in this club.

    As to "heavily modded", I am not so sure about that either. Unless something is totally inappropriate or highly insensitive, comments should stand as posted to reflect the individuals thoughts and condolences at the time.
    Details can be hammered out later. Anyone can post in the forums, but yes, once the info is deemed legit, then the mods move the threads as necessary.

    Heavily modded is heavily worded. But you caught my gist. We tend to get off topic here and there. If the remarks made do not reflect the member appropriately, then... the remark.

    It's a great idea, but there are many of us that don't have a significant other capable of informing even our close friends when that time comes.

    I'm turning 70 next Thursday (1/31). Time to start thinking about the inevitable.

    Folks that die in their 60's, most people say "he died so young". Folks that die in their 70's, "he led a good life". That one digit makes a big difference. Just a fact of life.

    I gave my wife an email address list of those that I keep in touch with on a regular basis to let them know..............

    None of the chatboxes that I frequent are on that list.

    Also tjg442 from Painesville, Oh., and Jim, who brought back 2 Marauders, ( a blue, and a DTR) and also built a 99 clone, (the best I've ever seen) I will miss them both.

    Got any other details on tjg442? I can't find anything on it.

    I believe I met Jim at MVIII/WDC in Detroit, MI when he brought the clone. Was he also Barb's/BAJA husband?? I can't find anything in the archives on that one either. I think Jim came to Carlisle in 2008 or 2009 with Barb in the Blue MM.

    I dont' think either one of the above was ever noted on MM.Net.

    tjg442 only had 220 posts, and stopped in 09, Jim wasn't a member here, but was a very good friend of Barb's, and that is the Blue he brought back.

    This might be going off topic....I'm into the fourth month of being 70....my thoughts about "the inevitable"....plan for it....make whatever arrangements are necessary...family members should know your wishes...write your own obit....get your estate in order...stop thinking about it and get on with your Marauder lovin' life!!!! With all due respect and compassion to those that have preceded us in death, R.I.P. No matter what your age, tomorrow may be the day for any of us.

    Ted Goshen was not very active at all in the community or forum but he was a nice guy who I met a handful of times, as was his wife Darla (who still drives his DTR Marauder around town from time to time).

    He had a stroke back in 2010 and was sent into a skilled care facility. Never did make it back out, as far as I know.

    Jim was not a member of MM.net but I feel that he should be included in the Memorial forum if one is created. Jim was one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet, a friend to several of us here; as stated, Jim cloned a Marquis into a Marauder, and brought back BAJA's DBP from just about nothing (it was a theft total IIRC). In addition, he owned a DTR until his death. You may think that he was not part of this community, but if you guys remember Robhollar (the guy who was selling off a whole TON of Marauder parts last year), that is (I think) his son in law. Many of the parts Jim scrounged and saved over the years are now living in on other folks' cars (hell, I've got a FL820S on my Marauder now that I bought from that parts hoard!) BTW, the DTR Marauder is still in his driveway, a little worse for wear as I do not believe it has been driven at all (odometer reading somewhere around 27000 miles). The obit for James (Jim) Burt can be found here. http://www.obitsforlife.com/obituary...Burt-James.php
