I started this thread to recognize people who asked for donations to be made in memorium to the Raptor Resource Project. I don't tend to have online names, but I want to post links to obits since they might be people that chatted or participated in various eagle cams.

People are welcome to post obits under this thread. It will be cleaned and restarted once a year, around the first of the year.

"There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us

It's the bridge that we call love"

Billie D. (Hendrix) Farmer. She was a fan of the Decorah Eagles and sounds like a really great person...as my late mother-in-law used to say, a real hoot! http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nwitimes/obituary.aspx?n=billie-d-farmer-hendrix&pid=184349528&

Dr. John King. He traveled to Iowa to see the Decorah eagles and came to our After The Fledge party, where he really enjoyed meeting Bob: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/postbulletin/obituary.aspx?pid=184865974

And, I just found this thread. A very good idea, I think. Thank you Nora and Amy.

This man did not request memorial donations, but I thought everyone should know about him and the role he played in bald eagle recovery.

Margie Stocking: https://www.mathewsfuneralhome.com/notices/Margie-Stocking

I have had a lot of email and people sending me fond recollections of Margie. She was very well liked and will be deeply mourned by the Eagle Nation. I'm sorry for everyone grieving her loss.

It was very kind of you, Amy, to start this thread in memory of people who loved eagles and loved the Decorah Eagles.  My sympathies to family members and friends.

It was interesting to read about Thomas Rauber and the critical role he played in BE recovery.
I wonder if Margie was a forum member.
Thanks for posting these obits, Amy, and my condolences to their loved ones.
