Regarding Bonkura's Death

Well, I'm thinking of Bonkura's family right now and how hard of a time this must be for them. I'm not sure if they know how big of an impact he's had on the PSing world, but if they don't I think somehow informing them of all the people that are mourning his death, all the people he's inspired in PSing including those outside of Japan, might brighten their day a little. Obviously this would require some coordination with someone who knew him personally (Crash comes to mind) and some sort of letter or something. Feel free to post your ideas here.

Hey man,
It's a cool idea, JPSA and i thought of the same idea a few days ago, it's been set up in place. If you go to the JPSA website with the annoucement, you can see they have a mailing form available for spinners to write mails about him for his family. Every mail will be printed out and formed into a book, to give to his family.
Do not worry about writing in english if it's not your first language, write in your own language so his family can see how much of an inpact he had in the world.
Take care,

So just write a mail to bonkura@pen-spinning? How soon do you need this? Tons of Thai members are his fan and most got into spinning from his work. I would like to gather as many message from Thailand as I could and send it there.

Yes send a email to [email protected]
And as Crash said don't bother with English, it's easiest to express your condolences in your own language. -

Last night, I made a topic in ThaiSpinner telling everyone is welcome to send letter to bonkura's family. Well, in just a single night, the thread went 3 pages long and still growing...more than I expected. Some letters are really nice... If this is too much to be included in the book that Crash is making (I think). I could try to convert the thread in pdf and send it to his family myself. Tell me.

So do we send them to the e-mail or post it in here to be sent to his email?

Yeah, but I thought in Crash's that he meant actually mail, and then i saw Sathon's post on Thai Spinner and I thought that we might be doing the same. It would look stupid sending an email to an account that you knew nobody would ever again check. It's better safe then sorry -

I will also write one as well.

I'm asking one more time: Will all of the e-mails be sent to his family? Because I have already written an e-mail to [email protected].

Hi Guys,
Just to clarify so everybody understands,
Please send en email to the mailing adress, JPSA are going to print out every email sent in to them (unless it's spam), and all of them will be printed to be formed into a book.
Take care
