[In another thread I talked about the savage murder of a co-worker earlier this week.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=850162)  
With the permission of the Moderators, I am posting [this link](https://www.gofundme.com/ben-lyons-memorial) to the GoFundMe page supporting the family of my slain co-worker, Benjamin Lyons.

I thank you in advance for your support.

BTW, if anyone donated to the previous GoFundMe page that was listed, no worries-It was set up by a good friend of the deceased who didn’t know about the one set up by my co-workers, so the money donated to it will still go to the right people.
