I wish I could afford to help today, but I think this is a great idea. I was thinking about (on Monday) how just a month ago my work did a story that TH hasn't lost one in that long of time and then this happened.
I did stop at the Police department yesterday where they have his car set up for people to put flowers and just pay respect. I took a few photos with my cell phone, but going back tonight, pending rain, with my big camera to get some good photos. After seeing how many people lined the route when his body was taken from the hospital to the funeral home, how many police cars, and all the fire fighters, it was simply amazing. The only other time I have seen this type of response was a few years ago when a soldier from this area was killed in action.
One more note, here is a page that my work set up for all his stories.

If you can watch the story with the sheriff talking about him and not almost tear up, something is wrong with you. I known the sheriff in town for years and never seen him like that.
