Like many of you, I didn't know Yakim personally, but I always looked forward to his Weekly Assignment posts and the comments he contributed.
He hadn't been submitting any entries for some time, and I missed seeing his work. I clicked on his Profile and noticed with deep sadness that he was "offline". It gives a very new meaning to that word.

It would be nice to know if his family does need any help. Recently a college buddy of mine lost his father. Someone organized an online "share a gift" system on the Internet. Before you knew it a whole bunch of friends made small contributions that amounted into a nice little sum that really made a difference.
If such a venture was set up then I expect many Alt members here would gladly donate $10 or whatever. The money might be appreciated but the collective gesture from this forum might really make a welcome impact...

It is certainly a great toll to no longer be able to do what you love, either due to financial or health reasons. The feeling I get when I see people selling all their gear because of eyesight loss or medical bills, it feels like it must be like selling a part of your soul. No one knows how they will react when they reach that transition in life.

This sucks. What a tragic loss and my heart aches because of this. I know what it means to be depressed and sometimes the pain just becomes too great to bear. God bless his family at this time.
