Hi all.

First I want to thank everyone that has offered their condolences. Even now it's still hard to accept the fact he's just gone. He was a wonderful person, he was a unique person, and there will never be anyone even close to like him. I'm sorry I didn't take the time to respond to you all individually, it's just something I've been finding hard to do so I think for now I just want to give a broad thank you, Zel would be just astounded at the outpouring of support.

I've been in touch with close friends of the family and right now his mother has traveled to Korea to identify the body, have the remains cremated, return to the US with them and his final belongings in tow, and have a ceremony sometime the following week.

Unfortunately all of this will cost money. I don't have any kind of exact figure so there's no 'goal' to shoot for but a personal friend of his from Georgia is accepting any donations and she will present them directly to his mother.

So anyone interested please contact Porsche Bridges at porscheb211[at]gmail.com for information on where donations can be sent.

I want to stress, this is NOT a Paypal addy, please don't just send something. You will have to contact her first. Any and all donations will be appreciated but please don't feel obligated, give what you want and what you can.

Again, thank you all.
