Hmm... Should I express my sympathy? You'll have to excuse me but this is a
new one for me. (I imageine for most of us).

Perhaps it's written in some file on the computer. (Cuteftp tree.dat
eudoras eudora.ini or other?) He should also have the pages somewhere on
the computer and I guess he should have papers on atleast the e-mail
password somewhere around his appartment/house (can be hard to find if the
relatives have packaged all his things down).
What's also usefull IMHO is that if you can reach his e-Mail you might be
able to send a message to those who only knew him on the InterNet and would
never find out why he has dissapeared otherwise.

Start by contacting the ISP and get the eMail password. (If you know the
addres(es) you could download the sites via http if you are unsure on what
TriPod will do before you contact them, you should get most of the page(s)
that way).
