Why not make this a raffle? Say 2,000 tickets @ $10 each? Maybe have the drawing in his hometown? We would need to find somebody to help with that...Proceeds would be used at the family's discretion.
Great idea!
I'll second that. I know just the guy to ask but if this comes to fruition, we should probably give the appropriate folks some time to grieve.
I'll also second the chambering in .270.
