Broken Pipe: Mark (I'm not sure where to put this.)

[mark]

My father [ Mark ] has passed, the result of a drunk driver of an 18 wheeler crossing into his lane and crashing head on.
I'm here to take care of any loose ends regarding his trades/swaps/sales with the members here. He has several pipes wrapped and addressed and I'll drop them in the mail Tuesday. He had several boxes on his desk with various tobacco tins inside ready to seal and send. I've helped him pack and ship tobacco/pipes/etc. to addresses all over the world. Corn Cobs to Iceland, buffing wax to Chile, a senior pipe reamer to Egypt and a huge box of tobacco sent to South Africa to mention a few, but with no current notes/addresses for these boxes I'm lost.

I'd like to ask the staff here for permission for the members to PM Mark with their concerns regarding any unfinished business, and also permission for me to return at a later date to receive that information so I can honor Dads obligations.

He was a big burly man, quiet by nature, kind and generous. I'll always remember him pipe in hand, a touch of Bourbon nearby and that easy going attitude.

Very sad to hear this. I'm sorry for your family's loss. I always found your Dad to be a wise and friendly person. Truly a great man.

 

[Jevverrett]

Oh wow. My heart sunk to see this. I didn’t know him in person, but his presence here was quite notable, to put it mildly. I’m sorry for your loss. He must have been a good man, if he raised a son that would go to the trouble settle his affairs in this manner. Thank you for what you’re doing.

Absolutely terrible news, my thoughts go out to you and all your family.

This was your Father's board and you can post this devastating news where ever you want. I don't think I ever met him at a show but I go back with him online for probably close to two decades. I don't know what to say but I am so sorry for your loss, this was way to soon. Please keep us informed on your Fathers arrangements.

Oh my gosh, what a shock. Condolences to the family.



As far as practical matters. If you are familiar with forums. Then the PM functions should be no surprise. But they do have size limits, and it will tell you how much space is left in each of the boxes. You may have to delete some to create space for more. Also, in those PM's you may find some evidence of any ongoing trades that others, like myself, could be unaware of. There may be addresses he requested. Anything we can do, simply ask.
