The fundraiser was started by the man's sister, Karrie Henbest-Guariglia.
An online fundraiser was recently created to raise money for the family of a Commack man who was killed in a single-vehicle crash on the Long Island Expressway earlier this week.
Karrie Henbest-Guariglia, of Westminster, Maryland, started a page on GoFundMe to help out the family of her brother, Scott Henbest.
On Sunday, Henbest had a massive heart attack while driving on the LIE, veered off the road, crashed and passed away at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore.
