For One of our Own: Amoroq

As many of you are now aware we received this post from one of own Amoroq last nite:

I lost a nephew today, he was 20 years old, it was sudden, and quite a shock. The family is in need of assistance due various layoffs and they need help to give the kind of funeral he deserves. My Sister has negotiated the sum down from $10,000.00 to $6626.00 but still they need help. I know its a large amount, but any little bit will help. $5.00, $10.00 anything.

Please follow the link below, it is my Wife’s blog and may not be your cup of tea but this is where you will find the donation box.

My thanks in advance.

As long as I have been a contributor at MLHS, Amoroq has been a regular supporter of our site, in fact as Alec informed me in his e-mail last nite when I should of posted this, Amoroq’s contribution’s pre-date mine, responding as he did way back on our very first post:

http://mapleleafshotstove.com/2008/09/06/cliff-notes/#more-104

Look at that, 13 responses. As the site has grown Amoroq (as well as those of you who may remember that post) have been ever present and I know Alec, as well as myself and the rest of our contributors are all grateful for the support shown and as such wanted to show our support at this difficult time and do whatever we can to promote his families cause.

I like to think of this site as a community and Amoroq has been integral to that since the very beginning. I know many of you have already contributed, but for those who haven’t I hope you can find the time to visit his wifes site and contribute what you can.

For one of our own and with our sincerest condolences, the MLHS.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I wish you and your family the best in this time of mourning. In the words of Henry Longfellow: “When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.”

    It’s truly tragic to lose someone so young. My condolences Amoroq.

    It’s really a testament to how great this place is that when I heard it was one of you guys who needed help, before I even knew who (followed a link on Twitter the night before this was posted) I immediately felt that I wanted to contribute something. This is an amazing community.

    All the best to you and your family Amoroq; Your nephew is no doubt somewhere the beer is a little colder, women a little better looking and the Leafs are ’10/’11 Cup favorites. Cheers.

    Amoroq,

    I am sure those here at MLHS & more will always keep Jesse in mind as we continue to cheer for the best Hockey Team in the world and follow them until they actually do bring the cup home. I call it home becauase it’s not a far stagger from the ACC to the old Bank!

    Sorry for the loss buddy.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    Perhaps now we can have someone pushing G-d to send a Cup our way… :)

    All the best.
