Forgive me to be skepitcal here, but you just joined the site on Monday and your first commentary at all was a solitation of funds for a fallen mentor. My trust factor here is really not firing on all cylinders. All we have is what you say here, a link to some account thing you set up as well as a mention of a Paypal account.

 

How about instead of that, if this is legit, a link to the actual family issues, the name of this guy and the dept he worked for. I would think something legit could and should be verified by outside sources here as opposed to just giving money to some annonymous account.

John I understand what you are saying, I agree that was probably not the best way to introduce myself. At the time my membership was approved I was dealing with his loss. The post was simply a reaching out for help for his family. I have raised 300.00 so far and with the cost of a funeral that is just a drop in the bucket. His name was Tim Allen and he worked for Garden City Fire in Savannah Georgia. You would find his obituary on Savannahnow.com I dont know what day it was published but he passed away February 26th. If you would like more information I will provide what I can, while still trying to protect the privacy of the family and the grieving process. The funeral was handled by Fairhaven Funeral home in Garden City GA.
