    ^That was a great day. Hard to imagine pre-gaming without him and his craft beer chalice.

    Oh man, that brought tears to my eyes... it's hard to imagine somebody so young passing but when you put a face on him as a person it's rough. How many boys did he have?

    Terrible news. Wow, just wow. It really makes you think that this could happen to any of us. My thoughts go out to his family.

    The thing is, it truly could happen to any one of us at any time. Things like this certainly bring life into perspective..

    I am going to hate the Pats a little more from now on.

    Not sure if that's even possible, but I will try.

    I am both shocked and saddened by this news. When I first saw the stickied thread title my heart sank because I immediately knew something was up. I am at a complete loss for words other than my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    Though I never met him in person, we would often participate in the same arguments and jokes almost daily, so it's as if a friendly coworker or acquaintance passed. I was actually looking forward to finally meeting him at the tailgate and calling him a friend.

    We all talk about how this is just the internet, but I always felt as if this community were something more than a bunch of faceless random fans talking sports and other b.s. That's what makes this sting all the more harder.

    R.I.P Pats-hater. You will surely be missed.

    I wish this was a joke, I really do, I'd even petition to forgive the guy if it were. I'm lost trying to string together the right words.

    This is the saddest day on TGG since NightOwlTom's passing.

    RIP pats-hater, only the good die young.

    Exactly, it is the internet but most us of share this bond that a lot of people will never understand. I've met IJR a few times and he's more then just some guy who posts on the net about the Jets. I know about his family and imagine 90% of the people on the board are like him. I don't know you either but I know why 9-11 means a little more to you then a lot of other people. When Green Guy passed I knew his mother and father and it was his father that got me posting on here so even though it sucked I knew how hard it was for his dad just to sit and watch a game let alone post here anymore. Just look at the outpooring Hornet got from a bunch of faceless random internet posters.

    Terrible news. I met him last year at the Texans tailgate. Super nice guy, always friendly and joking. He gave me a bunch of shit for showing up beer-less (which I deserved), but at the same time, he made me feel at home with everyone even though he didn't know me.

    I was really looking forward to hanging out with him this year at the TGG tailgate. He was one of those special people that you couldn't help but like. I didn't know him that well in person, but I'll miss him a lot on here. RIP.
