I noticed that OBW0549's post has been made a sticky. My condolences to OBW's family. That made me wonder whether the "Members" section or Off-Topic sub-forum might be changed to include an "In Memoriam" list.
My first thought would be to include the handles of anyone who died while a member in good standing. It would be up to other members or family to add names.* That is, I would not expect our moderators to search obituaries for the information. One might argue that membership on that list should be limited to have a certain number of posts. I do not think it is necessary to limit the list. However, I do think a link to the thread announcing the member's loss should be included.
*Perhaps only moderators should be able to add names. Family members or forum members could report the loss to a moderator.
