Just a thought I had. Perhaps someone can contact Barry's family and ask for the files for his final design? I propose that one of the designers here finish it up, and all proceeds from it at eCardmodels be donated in perpetuity, as a lasting tribute to Barry. I think it may be a bit soon to ask them now, but maybe later on?

Scott K.

I have done so. Thanks for setting this up, Chris.

Don

I've done so, too.

With lovely greetings

My condolences to Barry´s family. I'm on to ECardModels to check on Barry's models... I've been procrastinating buying one of his models for a couple of years now, I think it's time for me to get one at least.

Thank you Airdave and Chris for the effort on his behalf.

I think the idea of donating on Barry's behalf to a charity or group that Barry himself would approve of
is a FANTASTIC idea!
I support it completely.

But I have to ask...is his Family okay?
Do they need any financial help?
Would the donations help them out in this tough time?
or is it still okay to go the charity route.

...
and, if there is any member here that would like one of Barry's models
but can't afford it...please let me know.
And I will buy it for you.
[consideration please...I am talking about active members that I know, who have been here awhile, okay?]

I attempted an initial contact with his family through the only email I have.... I have not heard back yet but where the money goes may change based on their needs....

oh no...please don't blow my weak effort out of proportion.
I haven't donated any money...in fact money is a little tight right now.
But I realized there are other members who really struggle every now and then
and not everyone can always afford the $models.
So, I just figured if we had a member who wanted to help but couldn't,
it would be a good incentive for me to cough up a donation
and help someone else at the same time.
Those of you are making the real donations in Barry's honor
are doing much more than I ever could...THANK YOU
I'm sure Barry would be pleased with the support!

Chris, please keep trying; the only other contact I have is Barry's email address but I rather doubt they would be checking that right now...but I'll send an inquiry anyway.
