Since I've had several people requesting, I've set up a Paypal account for those wishing to contribute money to John's family. Simply log on to www.paypal.com/ and send the money to johntentafund@wrestlecrap.com. All money going to this account will go directly to John's family. (I should note that it lists my account/address on receipts because Josephine hadn't set any type of fund up yet when I spoke with her on Thursday; rest assured, all the money is going directly to her once it is collected.) If you feel like contributing, I'm sure John's family would appreciate it. We have also sent flowers, with the note reading, "To John...Thank You For Everything. We Miss You Already. Love, Randy (RD) and All Your Online Friends." (I didn't want to put "WrestleCrap friends" for fear someone might think it was in bad taste.) I appreciate everyone who has sent kind words both here and via email. I spoke with John's wife this morning, and she sounds to be holding up well. She is a very strong, very sweet, very kind woman. She actually helped me to get through the call with her, as at times I was basically falling apart. Now I know why John always spoke so highly of her. Take care, my friends. May God bless not only John's family and friends, but all of you as well during this difficult time. RD

Is there any way one can contribute without Paypal? I've never payed for anything other than with cash or a check.

I'm sure there is another way or perhaps a fellow WrestleCrapper can donate for you.

If you've got a checking account, you can use paypal....there's a way to transfer the cash directly from your bank account. I cant do it because I'm lazy and so I just did it from my credit card.

It's great that all the funds can go to the family at this time. The world really did lose a great man, and I just hope we can get another one like John Tenta.

I sent word out to some of the big wrestling news sites about the fund, and lordsofpain.net has posted a link to it (I hope you dont mind, RD, just trying to spread the word) so hopefully some non-Crapper Tenta fans will help out too.

Just sent in my contribution. Tenta's family deserves it. John was a great man. I'll give what I can.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. We're already at almost $600 just today alone. This is fantastic, and should really help John's family. I know that several folks (including Blade, Harry, and Derek) are all snail mailing contributions as well. If you want to snail mail a contribution, just shoot me an email (thedeal@wrestlecrap.com) or PM me. Thanks - this is really wonderful of everyone. RD

Obviously this comes first, but in a few months, my local sports radio station will have a radiothon for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I'll write more about it later, but I think it might be a nice idea to pool up some funds and make a big donation in Quake's name. The Jimmy Fund does a lot of great things for cancer patients and research, so it might be something worth looking into.
But that's for a later time and date. This is the more important cause at the moment.

I hate cancer. It took away both my grandfathers, John, Andy Kaufman, RD's father, and Erik's father. So expect me to make a huge donation, at least for me. (Keep in mind I'm unemployed, and have a net worth of about twenty bucks, though. But I still will donate.)
