Mr. Donlick's family has set up a memorial page. I'm not sure if I should send some flowers, or a card, or an email, or anything at all. I would really like to send some flowers, but I don't want to intrude on their family during such a sad time. What do you guys think?

Do they know who you are? - Or how it was that he was identified?

I don't think it would be an intrusion if you sent some flowers with a brief message on the card, and as a P.S. at the bottom stating that you were the person who spotted the match, so that they know who you are.

:waitasec: I have no idea if they were told about how his match was made.

I am so impressed with this. I dont understand how you match them up or know what to look for.

FWIW If I had a missing family member and someone took the time to do what you did to ID them I would want to know who you are. JMO

Snuf,
Congratulations again! Your volunteered time, energy & skill has made a big difference to Mr Donlick's loved ones. Be very proud for helping a family find closure & lay their loved one to rest.
One would think they would like to know, so I hope you did decide to send an acknowledgement to his family. Again... good work. I am humbled to just be a member of Wesleuth's because of the meaningful research that happens here.

Bobby Donlick was one of my best friends in high school. Thank you for your placing him for his family. I was reaching out to track him down and all I received was a small writeup, and am trying to piece together what actually happened to him. I guess I need to register for all of these sites to try an put this together. Bobby was a sweet, tough, cool buddy to have in school - always ready even as a little guy, to jump into the fray to stand up for his friends. I taught Bobby to sail when we were ~ 14 years old. He was typical Italian, scared of the water, but not scared to throw a punch. He was always there for anyone, with a quick laugh. That's who you helped lay to rest, I just thought you should know. I don't know what he was up to as an adult, but our true selves and souls are who we were as kids. Thank you.
