I was friends with Pops and we have each other’s Whatsapp numbers-I got a message tonight from his number saying it was his wife and they were requesting a donation to help his “Costa Rican family”-I have no problem contributing as I consider Pops a friend and he helped me out many times when I was in CR-just seeing if anyone else got a message and if it’s legit.

Boyton, have you heard anything about this? Figured you might know

PS-I hit the link and it took me to a Go Fund Me page that looks legit

I just received it 2 minutes ago. It appears legit but I'm always suspicious so I'll wait to see what others have to say.

It is legit and is being administered by a long time member CRT (Miamiheller). He did NOT post a link to this site to avoid spamming members.

I also know that Ed's costa rican wife has his phone, so the messages are coming from her. I assume she is just going through his contact list. As with any death, it takes some time to settle the estate his wife and K*ds have the immediate expenses of life.

I understand. Like I said, I have no problem contributing to his Go Fund Me as long as it’s legit. I consider Ed a friend and he was always good to me. Thanks for confirming Boyton, I appreciate it.

I like to post this link here as a number of long-time CRT members have requested I get the word out on the passing of Ed Hansen, a man whom many of us knew and respected.

This is a legitimate fundraiser and the proceeds will benefit his family in Costa Rica.

On July 29 Ed passed away unexpectedly in his sleep, leaving behind a grief-stricken family.

Ed -- an Atlanta police officer who retired to San Jose, Costa Rica -- was a happy and seemingly healthy man. He was always ready to help his family, friends and even strangers visiting Costa Rica.

Hello all,

Thanks Boynton and Admin for posting about the GoFundMe. It is indeed a legit fundraiser for Ed's family, which I help them set up on GoFundMe. I didn't post the link myself to avoid spamming the board, but I am grateful to Mr. Admin for posting the link.

There already have been several generous contributions from CRTers. Thank you all so much for helping Ed's widow and his boys!
