Hey friends-- it took me ages to remember my old login but I had to come over and say how sad I am about KF. He truly was one of the greats. Kind, funny, smart, and compassionate. I loved talking to him about film, but I also just loved talking to him. This is a terrible loss.
...and the milk's in me.
My heart goes out to all his friends and family. The world is not a fair place.

Hey Mara. Good to see you. We missed you.
What's the best way to do this? PM you my name and also give you Venmo details from there?Quoting bac0n (view post)
This is heartbreaking news.
Can you PayPal? Jacques@capesius.com.

I can't fathom it. Just can't fucking fathom.
My heart is breaking for Val and the kids.
bacon - I'll paypal you shortly.
Mara - perhaps the Icine community on FB could do something for Val?
I still can't believe it. Even though this forum has drifted away from my memory, I will always remember the countless discussions I had with Mike when the Film Discussion Thread first began. I've known him longer than most people I interact with in real life. So very sorry for everyone he knew and touched.
Seeing pictures of him on his very last day on Facebook is heartbreaking.

I just happened to check in here today after longer than I can remember. This is really fucking sad. I'm glad I saw it in time to chip in.

Incredibly sad to hear.
Thank you. It's not much, but hope it helps.Quoting bac0n (view post)
Wow. Hey friends. It's been some time, and it is strange and unfortunate that the impulse to check in just flared up over the last few days.
I'm so sorry to hear of this. There was much correspondence between us over the years, including a crucial conversation I had with him Mike a few years back regarding a friend that was having a hard time with rehab. His input was fantastic, and helped settle a lot of unresolved things. Goddamn, this is such a nightmare. Jacques, I haven't followed closely how things are developing, but I'm assuming I can PayPal you an amount that you can relay to the Beeckmans...
Man. He was one of the best.
Just sent an amount to bac0n. I'm sorry it came so last minute.
Also bac0n, I sent you a PM.

Oh wow I just saw this. How terrible. Fucking cancer.
He died on my birthday.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.
The severed arm perfectly acquitted itself, because of the simplicity of its wishes and its total lack of doubt.
Fer sher, Sven. Any amount will do.Quoting Sven (view post)
As for the rest of you, wow, MC, you really came through. We're over USD $600 dollars in donations raised. Val's not going to have to cook for awhile. If anybody has a better thing to do with this money, I'm open to ideas.
Regardless, if you don't mind, I'll set aside 50 for the funeral - either a bouquet or donation depending on what the family's wishes are. Any money left over I'll donate to an anti-cancer charity.

Awesome work MC.
Thanks for handling this bacon.
Alright, I'm off to get the gift card. Anybody else wants to get their name on the card, there's still a little time before I drop it in the mailbox.

Nice job everybody!
Looks like they’re having a celebration of life on Saturday at a Lodge.
