Possible memorial section
After reading about the passing of another of our own here I thought I might ask a question and would like some feedback. We have lost several members over the years here and on other car forums. As much as we try to remember them in the threads that are generated when we hear of thier passing, the threads dissapear eventually and are not read much after some time passes. I think a section set up for our friends would be a nice thing. I also think that it should be closed for posting other than by the moderator that receives the information to post along with photos and eulogy's. Even though we know each other mostly online or from a few phone calls or yearly shows and reunions, there is much more to each of us than just being a car owner or car enthusiest. I am sure many of you can think of several members from the SYC that have passed on since the board came into being. Steves Nova site has lost members as has the HAMB board. What do you all think of the idea?

Re: Possible memorial section
Tommy mentioned it to me and it sounded like a good idea. Just another section. Thoughts everyone ?

Re: Possible memorial section
Sounds good. Just another way to remember and honor the good people in our hobby who have gone to their rewards.

Re: Possible memorial section
I think it's a very worthwhile and honorable thing to do. Tributes to lost friends and icons of the hobby get lost in other forums over time.
It's also a very good idea to have the moderators make the posts IMO. Verne

So many times we lose touch with others after long periods of time,only to discover they have passed on and never knew.A seperate forum,something like..In Memoriam that shows what we <u>respectfully</u> had to say & share about them could be very helpful,decent,ease the mourning and give some closure as well.

Re: Possible memorial section
Great idea Tommy and a very respectful way of helping everyone deal w/ the loss of these friends..
Nice to think of their families viewing these postings too and seeing how much these guys were appreciated and will be missed by their friends here at SYC.. ~ Pete
