A friend and coworker recently passed away in a car accident. He was 31 years old and leaves behind a wife and 2 young kids. He wasnt on pinside, but had a pinball and some arcade games that i helped him buy. The family is going to be facing financial difficulties in the future and his friends and coworkers set up a gofund me to try to help out where we can. If anyone wants to donate the link is below, if not, that is fine too. Thank you all, this is a very supportive group of people and even though he wasnt a pinsider, he still had the obsession a little bit. We want to make sure his kids are taken care of as well as possible

Thank you. I cant imagine it either. Money doesnt solve anything, but it helps out right now im sure

Thank you, im sure anything will help them. Makes me want to up my life insurance. You never know and i wouldnt want my family to struggle if i were gone

Thanks to all who have donated. Its amazing the heart of this community, giving to someone they never met. I know the family appreciates it.

I couldnt agree more. This is a wake up call for me, seeing firsthand how scared they can be to make ends meet and just how much it is to deal with besides just the loss. I have talked to my wife already about more life insurance, and ive always had a death envelope in my workshop that she knows about, with names of pinball people i trust to help her sell my collection, and what she should get for each one. Someone once told me that the worst thing would be if they died, that his wife sold his games for what he told her he paid for them. His coworkers (i am one of them) are like family. We work in an oil refinery, we are in a control room together and we work holidays, weekends, birthdays, etc together. We see them more than family and they become family. And we help family out any way we can. HAVE LIFE INSURANCE!
