I already had a paypal account, but it is with a debit card. I think paypal tries to coerce you into signing up with a checking account but I would recommend against that.

Heard of Ben's death from one of my students on Friday. There are no words to describe how close this hits to home. I have donate as much as I could on a CFI budget, and I ask that others on here, no matter HOW LITTLE it is, that you please donate something, ANYTHING at all will help. Wife and kids.... no more words from me...

RIP Ben...

Kristie,
Thank you for setting up this memorial fund. I have sent my donation. I had to use a family paypal account since I do not have a US bank account available but in the remarks I wrote that it was from me.

I wish the family all the best in these difficult times. It is refreshing to see an aviation group come together to help a fallen brother. G-D speed!

Donation made. Nothing much, but what I could spare. I did not know Ben, but he seemed like a cool guy on the forums. RIP.

youngflyer · October 25th, 2009, 16:36

Donated. Wish I could have donated more. RIP Ben.

I used a debit card for my deposit no problem, and this is without signing into my paypal account. I was just to lazy to sign in. It may have recognized it though in there system. Also is it a Visa or MC debit card? If not that may be the problem.

Ben,
I didn't know you but I recognized your avatar, fair winds to you, and may the fish bite

PA44-LUV · October 25th, 2009, 23:06

Donated. I ran across one of Ben's posts from the day before and for a split second thought I had woken up from a nightmare. I, like so many others only knew him from his posts and avatar, but this hits so close to home. I pray his family finds peace in this trying time.

mpenguin1 · October 26th, 2009, 11:42

Check sent out today....

Kristie, I also sent a card, if you can kindly make sure the card makes it to the family, I would certainly appreciate it....

Cruise · October 26th, 2009, 13:37

Sent what I could.....and I'd encourage everyone on the JC community to donate as well. It will only take a minute of your time to help Ben's family.

Imagine if the majority of JC'ers contribute just $1 each, we'd give Ben's family over $10,000.

true...I can't imagine anyone who can afford a cel phone and a computer not being able to afford at least $10.00. (A case of PBR folks)

That could get both of his daughters through college, or at least help get his family through a couple of years...

We just wanted to, in some small way, share with his family how much Ben meant to our community.

Ben was always a kind, generous and knowledgeable gentleman on these forums. His loss has affected our community in a deep and profound way, and we can only imagine what it is like to have lost someone so close who maintained a character of such high caliber.

No matter how much we raise through our online community, and we are painfully aware that it can never come close to replacing Ben; we just want you and the rest of Ben's family to know we share in your sadness, and are thankful he touched our lives for this short time.

Well said Dale, well said.

donation made. Didn't know him personally, but always looked forward to his comments on here. It is people like Ben that make JC the great place that it is. RIP

s60 · October 27th, 2009, 22:03

My husband and I sent what we could. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

FYI: Today I found out that the local newspaper had a typo, the donation fund is at catually at Wells Fargo. But you can still donate at UCCU and they'll transfer the money to the Wells Fargo account.

Bandit_Driver · October 28th, 2009, 13:43

Donation sent.

RIP

caliginousface · October 28th, 2009, 15:45

Is there some way to transfer money online through Wells Fargo?

wjmiller3 · October 28th, 2009, 22:14

Donation sent, I still cant look at the pics of his girls without tearing up. All from a guy who I talked to for the last couple years but never had the opportunity to shake his hand.
