Greg McMullan - 1963-2008

Greg McMullan died in a fire at the townhouse he shared with his wife Maya and stepdaughter Faeryn (who were not at home at the time) on Saturday 26th January 2008.

He was a much-loved member of the filk community, both online and at conventions both in the US and abroad, always smiling, friendly, and involved. He was a quiet, gentle man who never pushed himself into the limelight, but made friends whereever he went. The Charlottesville 'Daily Progress' has published an obituary.

If you have memories or pictures of Greg you wish to share, his brother Scott has asked that you post them in his LiveJournal. You can contact Maya and Scott on rip(dot)filkergem(at)gmail(dot)com.

Greg and Maya's house, and all their possesssions barring a few pictures, are completely destroyed. Many filkers, both near and far away, have asked if there is anything they can do to assist. Faeryn has provided a list of things they could use right now, if you can get things to them. If you simply wish to make a donation, Scott has provided instructions on his LJ, which are reproduced below:

Maya has a personal paypal account, if you want to make a donation from your existing PayPal balance, please use the button on the right. Do NOT use this link to pay by credit card.
