Popular Post gabriel Posted May 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2021 Here is a link to Ford's wife's Baby Registry: https://www.babylist.com/baby-courtney-stuen I think it would be a cool way to show the support if the blog could throw her some support during this tough time.

Cowboy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 -I would guess there would be a way to donate to the family that gets released, if not, if Steve would collect contributions and donate in the name of Billkens.com that might be nice dennis_w, cheeseman, CBFan and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am in, please provide instructions about where the donations should be sent. I like the idea of doing this as a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatskablamo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Agree - we may all have our differences here and disagree at times, but If there’s one thing we can agree on it’s helping a family in need. Ford is one of us and I can’t imagine what his wife is going through. If it’s a GoFundMe or helping with purchasing items for the baby on the way, count me in as well. Let’s show the strength of our little community here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Nick Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I think it is definitely more powerful to come together as a billikens.com community and provide straight financial support. A bunch of strangers buying things off a baby registry is sort of weird. Just my .02 SLUMedBilliken15 and stmdragons like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjoelabs Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am in 100 percent on this. Does someone with a business paypal account (they don't have limits or fees) want to collect the money? I have one if no one else does, although it hasn't been active in a while so I am not sure if it still works but I could check. This is just so awful and unexpected.

This one hurts, anything we can do to show the family there is a community supporting them seems like a good thing. Roy's post below is a good one, lets wait and see.

Popular Post billiken_roy Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 i think we should wait and see what the arrangements are and if the family sets up some sort of program/benefit we can react accordingly. we should respect the family wishes.

billikenfan05 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 If you are near Chaifetz, it would be nice if you could drop some flowers off at the Billiken statue as a makeshift memorial. Ford's family will be in for the Memorial on Saturday and it would be nice if there was a visible show of love from us.

SluSignGuy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 An obituary has been posted for Ford Stuen. https://www.osfuneralhomes.com/obituary/ford-stuen For those of you would who would like to support the Stuen family, it appears the family will setup a trust Quote Celebration of Life Service will be at Chafietz Arena on Saturday, May 15 at 1:00 p.m. followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Penn Ford Stuen Trust Fund. Once I learn details about how to contribute to the Trust Fund, I will post these. I suggest that Billikens.com users donate directly to the trust if they wish, as there could be complications if I try to coordinate/group the donations.

4thgenBill Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 There is a link to the PayPal for the trust in the obituary linked above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is good, the wife is going to need cash much more than flowers. I just made my donation. The link is very easy to use, clicking on the paypal link gets you to a donation site for the Ford Steuen Family Trust fund. Just fill the amount of the donation, log in to Paypal and you are done. Fast, painless, and presumably anonymous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majerus mojo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Can watch the service here: Good stuff from Ford and Tate. Great line from Phil Forte, too: “Ford and I would talk every day.. life.. work.. basketball.. how Jordan Goodwin and Hashan French can't hit a free throw..” #TeamBlue BilliesBy40 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
