Dear FRiends,
As you may have noticed, FR's Memorial Wall hasn't been updated in quite a while, since 2022.
In that time, we've lost at least fifteen Freepers (probably more). These are friends who not only deserve a place of honor on the Wall but need a place where they can be "found" and remembered.
To that end, we suggest the following update to the Wall (posted in the comments below).
The tedious html work is already finished!
All a moderator--or anyone with access--would have to do is copy-n-paste the updated html into the existing Wall's code, somewhere after the most recent addition:

The new memorials should fit right in.
Please see below for the "rough draft".

For your consideration ...
Pinging you to the “rough draft”.
Ping. If you have any additional information, or know of a departed Freeper that should be included, it would be appreciated.
Thank You for Updating the Wall, Jonny.
Don’t know much about him other than his Freeper handle and first name, but Windflier, aka Ronnie. He passed about three years ago. Maybe longer.
This is great. Thanks for doing this.
I wish I knew what happened to MrB. He stopped posting in 2016. Just disappeared without a ripple. I miss him.
Thank you so much for doing this.
We also recently lost Professional Engineer.

How wonderful!
Thank you.
Windflier is on the wall. 2020
Well done, thanks Jonny!
Fintan went out the same way. Posting every day (with a little lit cigar over his name.
Then one day nothing.
No posts, no responses to pings or private messages.
So many great, nice, American loving people here.
Adding bagster to the list. I didn't know him at all, but his screenname popped to mind.
Michael Bagwell, a.k.a. 'Bagster' ~ RIP, Patriot May 1959 to June 7, 2023
Thank you, silent_jonny
A much-needed update. The thread should be added to the directory in the forum. No one knows where to access the Memorial Page
I remember that cigar!
Dang, no posts since 2010.
We'll probably never know what happened to a lot MIA Freepers.
I know. It's a pain to find unless someone links to it directly. I had to Google "Freerepublic Memorial" to find it.
Oh my. RIP sweet Patriots
Chode had passed away if I’m not mistaken.
