Bestow "In Memoriam" title to "32 Magnum"?
Recently a long-time PAFOA user, 32 Magnum, who was an authority and historian on H&R firearms, passed away. He was nominated by a PAFOA staff member for a "In Memoriam" title.
As per our process for such:

The staff as a whole approved the nomination, and now it moves to a public poll, which will be open for a week.
So what say you?
Below is the message sent to me nominating him, for those that might not have known him:

CR,
I have sad news again to report..
The world has lost another of the greatest minds in H&R Firearms history a couple weeks ago.
Jim Hauff, aka 32 Magnum, passed away. He, and Jim Ritchie who passed away this past spring, was probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet about H&R Firearms and their history back to 1871.
32 Magnum and I used to correspond with long email chains about his and my favorite line of guns. I knew he was having health problems, but didn't know the extent of things.
Anyways, I would like to nominate my friend for "In Memoriam".
Here is his obituary:

Re: Bestow "In Memoriam" title to "32 Magnum"?
All links except his profile on PAFOA are broken.

Fixed the links, guys, thanks for the heads-up.

Sorry to hear of his passing.The answer is yes.

Can we vote on the rule about voting on the title? Seriously I think it's both disrespectful and despicable. Anyone who is a member in good standing and has contributed to the site should be granted a memory. Otherwise it's nothing more than the politics of a popularity contest.

While Jim Hauff was my friend, he may have ticked off people who didn't voice their opinions in the threads that he posted in.
I believe the voting process is proper thing to have. Sure, you'll get some vindictive folks who will vote against just to be a butthead, but it allows for a democratic process for the members.

We are not electing leaders we are remembering those that have been lost. Oh well, It is what it is.

I used the lists he made about year of manufactor several times for h&r guns. I enjoyed reading his posts about them also. I vote yes. He definitly contributed to this site in a positive way.
