in thread Obituary section

I agree with Tanktalus, and support jdporter's suggestions as well. I didn't know blazar very well, and haven't been on the site much lately, so Tanktalus's comment was the first I had found of his passing. This is very sad to me :(, and I think that a simple posting of a notice about the Monk's passing, and a In Memoriam page would be a good idea and a nice way to allow the fellow monks of the deceased, who maybe weren't close enough to have information such as a home address and the like, but who nonetheless had a friendship with the deceased monk and wished to show their sympathies, to do so in a simple manner.

Also, just as a respect issue, this would be a good idea, (jdporter's suggestions I'm referring to here), so that we would be aware, because no one wants to un-knowingly make a comment about someone in jest, only to find out that person is recently deceased and close grieving friends are a bit offended.

++jdporter, and Tanktalus

Of course this may be the wrong time or place, but I was quite saddened to hear of blazar's passing, and offer my sympathies to his family, and the Monks here who were close with him :(
