          Terrible News... No wonder the Board blew up a few minutes ago...  

          For those who knew him- at least he got to see most of America, and the world before his passing..    🙁  RIP Friend...

            I'm sitting here literally speechless. Man, life is so fragile.

            RIP Gipper, I will miss your super frustrating posts. Feels like I lost a friend even though I never met you.

                I know sports are trivial, but you hate to think he might miss a Browns title. 

                They were so godawful for so long, finally get good, then this. Fuck.

                  Rest In Peace, Gip. Only got to meet and talk to you one time, but I’ll never forget it. You were an awesome Browns fan and you will be severely missed.

                                Wow I can’t believe this news.  He will Definitely be missed.  Very knowledgeable guy, well traveled and always held to his convictions. RIP.   I Hope the Browns can win it all for Gipper.

                                    Your days normal routine, is just never the same with heartbreaking news like this ?..

                                    RIP Thomas Gibson aka The Gipper...?

                                    We've interacted on here, for parts of 7 years on the BB... wishing we got, that Browns fan handshake, at least once 🙁   

                                     It Hurts! I'm stung..and the words just won't come out.. so I'll leave our ending, with a few lines from a Eagles ? song.. that got my last reaction ? from The Gipper.. 

                                    What did I respect?

                                    As Loyal of a Browns Fan we could want on here ?...

                                    His Trivia & Other Sports wisdom, were just as entertaining, That I will miss..

                                    Sadly with a ?....Farewell To our Browns Brother.... The Gipper... Your Honor.. You will Be Missed !

                                      Just adding to the tragedy- me and Gipper have been friends on FaceBook for a long time....  There was a family shinding planned for the end of the month celebrating his son getting his Doctoral degree, and his daughter's marriage. That's turned into a funeral wake....  🙁

                                        I would love to see a picture of the man if anyone has one.... although it will probably be like whenever I finally get to see a radio disc jockey, and I'm like "naw, that ain't you".

                                          Just adding to the tragedy- me and Gipper have been friends on FaceBook for a long time....  There was a family shinding planned for the end of the month celebrating his son getting his Doctoral degree, and his daughter's marriage. That's turned into a funeral wake....  🙁  

                                          I just went on his FB page, Gip announcing this event was his last status he made. 

                                          He had recently retired I believe, and his wife just had. What a shame.
