I've found a mailing (not email) address and some names possibly connected to him. I'll send a letter to that address and keep working the names. How about March 1st as a deadline? If I haven't succeeded by then we'll go with whatever everyone here decides. March 1st it is.... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Don't overlook other options as well. Local hospitals, police and the phone company are also resources that can be reached out to. You may not be able to get into direct contact via these sources, but you can give them enough information that they can pass on your information (name, contact info, and why you are trying to reach him) to either Terry (hopefully) or his emergency contacts/next of kin. Certain things cannot be divulged to a stranger, but finding out if so-and-so is a registered patient, explaining the situation and asking them to pass your information on is not uncommon. Police do similar with wellness checks, but be conscious of things that might be perceived as invasive by his family. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that's a great suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZokZTM Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just wanted to post what I've sent to Larsy: Don't give up trying to find his family, it might take time. But if there are 3 kids around in the school, try to get in touch with school's headmaster and see where it leads... DON'T Give up GUYS!!!

Larry Shelby Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Back to the top... Have we decided what to do with the money? 1. Cancer research in his name 2. Donate To School Music Program in his area, in his name 3. Hospital in his area, in his name Or any other suggestions (if I forgot something please remind me) I would STILL prefer to get to his family if possible...

I guess no reason to rush things? I am from different country so cannot help with searching for address of the family but there are different ways to try. I generally - as already mentioned - not a follower of changing purpose of impulse from heart, especially from something what requires urgent help to something what could wait - whatever beautiful it seems to be or is named...

Larry Shelby Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Only a week until March...that's not a lot of time... So we should REALLY start discussing the "Who, What, Where, When" and not wait until the last minute...we can always adapt should something change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibby Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Would be great to somehow get it to his family. It was a good idea to reach out to local schools or hospitals - even hospices in the area if you know his full name... ?

Marc Cormier Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Where is the search at right now? We know his town, but IIRC that's about all know. I'd love to help the search but I think for privacy purposes any further info hasn't been divulged. I'm with Mibby (and a lot of us, I know) that supporting Terry's family is priority one. If we've exhausted all avenues to find his next of kin, that's cool, but we should at least decide the direction we want to go with the donation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
