cbandotho Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I am not a lounge poster...just a lurker. So I had witnessed Jer hazing newcomers. Probably a couple of years ago I posted a totally noob question in the photography section. I saw that Jer had posted and thought I was going to hear it. Actually, he was clear, to the point and extremely helpful and never mocked my noobness. He even sent me a follow up PM to offer some more help. I read all of his posts differently after that. I would be happy to contribute to something in his memory. A quick suggestion....maybe CM could contact the family and find out what would be most appreciated. Maybe he had a favorite charity that money was sent to instead of flowers or maybe he has a niece or nephew that needs help. You never know until you ask. Then we can put our resources in the most helpful direction. Just a thought. Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 R.I.P Jer. What sad news. Link to comment
TheUnfocusedOne Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm more than willing to support whatever you guys choose to do in memory of jer, but I'd feel more confortable about it if we could contact his family. To them, we're a bunch of strangers, so they may not take our good natured intentions the right way, especially if it's out of the blue. I would really like to get ficklewaters saved as well if we could. Link to comment
basser1 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Ugh. I have known Jer here for at least 4 years. He has helped with product development in some way or another via PMs. My brother just passed away at the same age and all those feelings come right back. WTF. This will be his parents worst Mother's Day I was sorry to hear about your brother as well. I contributed to your sale in your brothers' name. Link to comment

I have pointed her towards this thread so her family can see how many people Jer actually touched in his life. Link to comment
nibor Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Suddenly, so many things become unimportant. Condolences to his family and friends. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I found a cache of http://ficklewaters.com on Archive.org's Wayback Machine, but it seems to be only the front page that got crawled. I'm currently looking for a way into the Google cache of the site to see how much of it was crawled. Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Excellent, thank you. Should I still donate to your paypal? That is up to you. The donations will be used in a way to honor Jer. That way has yet to be determined. I have asked for his sisters help in that. Just don't let her go in The Lounge!! haha. She might get a kick out of some of his comments. I know I have been over the last hour since I discovered of his passing. Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Jer, you will be missed. Even though most of the posts I saw were in the lounge, he was the best of all the lounge goers. Never rude to me when I asked stupid questions, always helpful when I asked reef-related questions. Just one of those amazing people that is nice to everyone and perfect all around. So sad to see you go, and we will remember you for as long as we live. Avatar changed for Jer. Link to comment
