Sad news about one of our memebers: LetItRev
 

http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar...603040322/1002

Franz (LetItRev) was out snowboarding, celebrating is 40th Birthday a few days ago and hit a tree. He passed on from the resulting injuries.

Franz didn't show up to every meet, but he is someone I'd consider a regular. He'd show up whenever his work as a DJ or volunteer Firefighter allowed him to.

As a club, I think we should take up a collection for his wife and daughter, to help with the expense of the funeral or whatever they might need. I don't know how to set something like that up, so hopefully someone else can help out in that area. I will edit this post as necessary, but for now lets take a moment to remember Franz.

Edit: SECCS is taking donations for Franz's family via our PayPal account. If you'd like to help, please send to paypal@seccs.org. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rest in peace, buddy :(

I still can't beleive this :(

wow, seems like a lot of people have died from skiing/snowboarding this year. Best wishes to his family. :(

I can check with North Tahoe Fire to see how we can help or if they have any family contact. He was a cool guy and I wish I got to know him better.

Whoa, that's intense.

I got the call from his wife's (Kim) friend Thursday night about his passing. She is very broken down right now which is completly understandable. I will keep in touch with her and get the details about the service and anything we can do to help. I have their contact information if we would like to do something for his family or if can offer any assistance.

He was a great friend and he will be missed dearly.

Wow, it's just unbelievable how this can happen. He was a very cool guy to me, best wishes to his family and keep us updated.

That's horrible, he was always such a great guy. RIP man.

WOW Thanks for calling me and letting me know about this ART. our prayers are with him and his family..

RIP Franz...you will be missed.

Wow, I'm stunned. Let us know if there is anything we can do for his family. He will be missed.

Wow... this is difficult to accept. It's amazingly unexpected. Franz was good people. RIP friend.

Again, I'm speechless from the news and hope that there is something that we as a club can do to help the family of our friend. Very sad news.

That is absolutely awful. He was a great guy. Our thoughts are with his family. You will be missed Franz!

Such horrible news. I can say that I looked forward to his thoughts on stuff about radio and all kinds of interesting subjects. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

This is some terrible news. Franz was a good guy, and came around quite a bit when his schedule allowed. Things will certainly be different without him around. :(

We'll miss you man, RIP.

Art, please let me know where to send any donations, and whether or not the SECCS paypal address can be used to help coordinate.

R.I.P. Franz

When Kim calls me back, I will see if we can set something up for her and her daughter and if we might be able to help with the service in any way.

My god, that it terrible news, sorry to hear about this loss. I never knew him but that hits very close to home.

It sucks to think how easy it is for a life to end.

I only met Franz once and we had a blast. We were at the Peppermill with a group of SECCS members - 2-something-am and talking all kinds of shit at the black jack tables while Nick got owned by the house for listening to us. Franz was hilarious :lol:

RIP :(

I didn't know him, but Rest in Peace Franz :( My thoughts are with his family.

No words can convey the sorrow I feel for the loss of his life, and for his family right now. RIP Franz.

He live close by my house. He always say hi to me when I walk by. I gonna miss him :(

RIP Franz. :(

I remembered and found Franz' post in MPREZIV's thread 'Black Cory is Sad'.
