Once arrangements are announced we will be coordinating a flower arrangement or donation in John's memory (depending on the family's preference). We have a Paypal link that we'll make available at that time.

I was hoping "we" would do something. Hell, Champcar should name a trophy after him.

As a matter of fact, I've been thinking that all day. Thanks for posting it RT. This was no ordinary fan or person. Siiiiiiiiiigh.

I'm in, too.

Here's a bit of an off-the wall idea: I can't find an email address for Varsha or Despain, but since I've heard "get well" and "hi to our fans gathering at X" messages on these shows, I would hope that we cold get a quick mention in tribute to our pal 'bird.

Who knows, I have it on pretty good authority that they both lurk here (among other places), so this might already be a done deal.

We would like to start collecting funds for a contribution in John's memory. We like the idea of a race "scholarship" to send a worthy fan to the races, but there are still a lot of details to be worked out around that idea. We'll do what we can to help that come together and we'll support it if it does. If it doesn't, we'll make a contribution in John's memory to either the Hole in the Wall Camps or CARA.

If you would like to contribute you can make a PayPal donation by clicking the button below. If you would like to specify that your contribution should only go to a formal charity please note that and we'll split those donations out if necessary. The contribution will be noted as being from "The Race Fans at the OffCamber Forums" in John's memory.

On behalf of Railbird's friends here at OffCamber, we will send a floral arrangement to the memorial service tomorrow. We will not be using the donations made to the charity for this purpose. Richard and I will cover this ourselves. Just wanted you all to know.
