[expletive]. Man. It’s so weird. I mean knot hole gang vet was older. Think we al knew that. And people die. We all know that. But gosh dang. I feel like I owe cronos a lot. And I feel like I’m not the only one.

This hit like a ton of bricks. I seriously can’t stop crying [expletive].

I hear ya. This one is tough. He... he’s just one of ours.

How would folks feel about a zoom-type gathering to simultaneously watch a cards game and have a drink in his honor, maybe next weekend? Or if not zoom, a special memorial thread where we all commit to watching the game together, and honoring our friend?

Or if not a regular game, a rewatch of 2011 game 6 or 7, or the 06 clincher, which would have been his first ws win in his lifetime.

For real, who would be up for that?

:( :(

Saw this referenced in the GDT and I'm stunned since he's one of the younger ones here. Never really socialized with him as much as some posters here but I always appreciated his posts and his passion for Cards baseball.

RIP

I would like to make a GRB group donation to a mental health services charity or Cardinals care in his memory.

I'm going to make another thread for this.

Am shocked & saddened to see this, I remember our game day threads in which we'd bantered back & forth with each other since I'd joined in 2006. In fact, he's the reason I'm a member. I saw a post of his in CT about this forum, which caused me to check this place out.
RIP.

I am saddened to hear about his. I used to chat with him. So sad.

That is crushing to read first thing Monday morning. I missed him already, but this is a pretty solid gut punch.

Probably a good time to take a second and tell everyone that hangs out here that I consider friends thanks for your time either setting this place up or contributing. I've signed up for a few forums, but this is the one that keeps me coming back, even if there is no baseball to kick around. I've met just a couple of you, but I feel like I really do know almost everyone that posts here.

Thanks for letting us know about this terrible news, and Godspeed Cronos.
