That is a lovely idea. x
There was a beautiful girl on tv earlier who was given a terminal prognosis 5 years ago. It was heart breaking seeing her talk about her young girls and the future but like our Karl, she was a real warrior.
I have no doubt whatsoever that Karl would give this a big thumbs up.

Sure we can set up a GoFundMe or something mate?
Something to help ease the burden of the family and show our appreciation for him sharing his time with us.
The idea of setting up a charity in Karl's name is laudable but as someone who has been involved in the running of a charity I can assure you that it is not straightforward.
Once you have established the aim / purpose of the charity you will then gave to raise the necessary initial and then ongoing finance. And of course you will need to appoint trustees to run it .
Perhaps it might be better to have something named in Karl's honour.

Fair enough mate; I'll bow to your knowledge on that one.
I've searched lately hoping BMD will have a similar wall to Goodison where you can name a brick and the likes as a memoriam for my old man.
Haven't found anything yet but if it happens it would be an ideal thing I think for Messy as well.

I think we sent /will send flowers on behalf of everyone.
Not 100% about a go fund thing if I am honest. If folk want to remember him with a donation to sommet, Cancer UK or similar, in his name, would be my suggestion.
I was very moved when a poster made a donation to Dogs Trust in memory of Nikki. A few hundred quid via Go Fund wouldnt have had the same impact.
Like you Tommy I was a relatively late follower of this thread.
I'm sure that @Barnfred 55 , @Earwigjoe , @Reedy1979 , @anjelikaferrett and @Sassy Colombian aee likely to know Karl's personal situation and in particular if he left dependents.

It's a lovely touch that mate and typical of true blue family what he/she did for your dearly departed.
You raise very fair points, I've always just been a believer a collective donation is more powerful.
I could be wrong (probably am).

There is nothing wrong in a collective donation, obvs.
But, for me, such a donation, collective or individual, is more appreciated as going to a cause that would mean sommet to our late friend.
But each to there own isnt it? No right nor wrong.
Maybe @Reedy1979 could let us know if his family have asked for donations to a particular charity or place.
That's still a great stint Meths, all the best to you and yours when it comes

What are we talking about … I’ve been known to put music to lots of things but usually when I’m on the sauce !!!
@larbert toffee the beaches of lanzagrotty is very much more suitable to the guitar ragtime part fir Alice’s Restaurant! Just saying
You'll need to go back 4/5 pages and read Fred's initial post and take it from there.
