Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Board Response to Tiffany Knupp Msg# 1177610
|

| Nicely stated. While I'm sympathetic with the Knupp family typically benches, trees, bricks etc. are used to memorialize a loved one. Naming an entire facility is normally only done when someone has either raised the funding or paid for it in its entirety. Additionally, there may be other children who have passed, or unfortunately may be those in the future who will, that also loved the skate park. They are no less worthy of being remembered by friends and family at the facility if they wish...and why items that can be replicated are used to memorialize loved ones. Quite frankly I don't understand why the board offering either the bench or an award in Gavin's name, or both, is considered an insult. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Yes, that does sound nice but isn't it now OPA's responsibility to maintain the skatepark? If I remember correctly, I think some residents got together and raised funds to build the park. After a number of years, they turned it over to OPA. Or maybe you're talking about adding some better skate areas (I don't know skating lingo anymore. My son's now in his 40's.) I can't imagine the pain the Knupp family has had to deal with after the loss of their son. My condolences to their family. I hate to see all this nasty talk happening now. I believe the Board would need to take time to consider a suggestion to put the park in Gavin's name. They are making decisions for 8,452 residents. Things take time. They don't have any ulterior motives. Just volunteers working to help their community. |
