  • Terribly Sad...

  • Man I hate to hear this. He was the most passionate person on here. The board will not be the same without him

    Prayers to his family, friends, and all those who knew him.

    I always looked forward to reading any thread Gip started. 
     

    My heart dropped when I saw this.

    I'll email it to you Steve. I don't understand why if I copy and paste a photo from my Google album it shows up fine on my end, but usually not for anyone else.  

    And I'm also in on flowers.

    His death comes 2 weeks after my wife of 20 years passed away.

  • Oh my I just found out about this he was indeed too young to leave this world.

    This board will not be the same is a big understatement in deed.

    We will miss all of his contributions here.   He was my first post here.

    Adios counselor.

    Great pictures, and I am so sorry to hear about your wife..... I can't, and won't even try to imagine. ?

     Knowing the gipper I would expect him to prefer a donation to some sort of organisation or other. But I know he would have appreciated the guys getting together and raising a glass.

      I'll keep everybody posted on the calling hours.

  • I see pictures of a man that I never met nor knew what he looked like.  And it still brings a tear to my eye.  These are people on this board that are our brothers (and sisters).  They are people that love the Browns.  Not just 'like' them.  But love them.  And that creates a special bond (for the most part...as I do have a few on my ignore list).  -  Very sad.

    LOL and again, and again...  I thought I had it down to one from four...   So I deleted the post....  But I could edit your reply... Now everyone knows what I look like and can hunt me down....  🙂  BTW, this picture is from the outskirts of Killbuck- you can check it out on Google maps.   Part of my adventure completing the Ohio to Erie Bike Trail last summer... 

    And I really don't think me and Gipper look all that alike, other than we're both old...

    PS I finally figured it out, and it makes no sense to me...  Copying an image direct from Google to the Board apparently doesn't work. But If I copy an image from my Google album to my pictures album on my computer & post it- then it will show up here.

  • One last thought...

    I just hope St. Peter's greeting of Gip to the Pearlie Gates isn't anything along the lines of:

    Well, Gip.... we normally don't let lawyers in here, but since you already went thru hell when your Browns moved to Baltimore...

    Oy vey....

  • Truly sad news.....rip Gipper!

    I loved his trivia(and so did he)....I imagined how many hours he put into preparing & researching those threads....as well as his noted battles with everyone. Honestly figured he was too stubborn to do something like this...... the board will never be quite the same.......
