RIP Ginger Papa

[super6646]

@SniperHF reported on his profile that one of the posters here noted he passed away recently. His profile says he hasn’t been active since last spring, but that absolutely feels like a mistake. I can swear he’s been active more recently, but I might be wrong. Years can pass in days it seems…

Now I’m not a Canucks fun, but he was one of my favourite posters on the board. Very even kneel and great to discuss with on the mains. Also was one of the few ppl who appreciated the Kylington hype I had a few yrs back and kept asking for clips. In retrospect, I might’ve overrated the player just a tad, but he didn’t care. Anyways, what a damned shame to pass at just 54 yrs young. RIP

Huh...is he gone for real?

 

[Kryten]

He was one of my favourites of all time here

Aww man brutal. Such a positive poster.

DMed me a really kind message 3 or 4 years ago.

I do feel grateful that I had a chance to commend his positivity and impact on these boards to him directly.

RIP Ginger Papa, you are missed.

No way... damn it.

The dude was so positive. We lost a good one...

He did the same for me few years back...

Great guy.

RIP. He sent me just a couple months before his last login with a really nice heartfelt message. Truly a sweet individual. May he rest in peace.

 

[rypper]

Damn. Always brought positive energy to the board, even when the team was the furthest thing from positive. RIP.

Gingerpapa crossed my mind the other day, very sad to hear the news. Ginger was the most positive poster on these boards. I swear most of my likes received were from him. Loved his positivity, loved the funny gifs, and loved his passion for the game. Gingerpapa will be sorely missed.

RIP buddy.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Oh, man. That sucks. One of the more positive and upbeat fellows to bless us with his sense of humour here. He was always polite enough to bounce some of his more boundary pushing jokes and gifs off the mods before he posted them.

RIP.

That is very sad news to hear. He was positive, and his 5-4-2 GDT record on HFVGK will not be forgotten. I'd post a wall of gifs in his honor.... but the site is to broken to let me.

He was last active in May 2024. There was an obituary that I came across on which seemed to be his but there's lingering doubt and I hope he randomly signs on ala Grub. I did tell Sniper HF I could not fully confirm this.

RIP Ginger Papa. You were a one of a kind poster on these boards and were always a pleasure to be around! You will be missed.

 

[Bgav]

damn, one of the best posters ever. RIP Ginger

Heartbreaking. I didn't know him personally but you can just tell by his activity that he was a really kind and sweet guy.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

One of the best ever. It isn't the same around here without the GIF walls.

RIP GP.

A thread memorializing my favourite Canucks poster made by my favourite Flames poster.

For one day we can stop arguing about petty hockey things out of respect for GP.

RIP.

RIP Ginger Papa. Loved seeing your enthusiasm for the game and it was a pleasure reading your posts. Praying for your family

 

[Nucky]

RIP

Seemed like a really good dude, he dm'd me once saying I might wanna delete a post that had a meme with a swear word in it because he was worried I'd get banned

 

[racerjoe]

He was someone who brought sunshine. Will always remember the times we had durring covid watching rerun games and posting here during them.

 

[Vector]

I don’t think there was anyone as genuine and enthusiastic as him.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

He was a rare breed that was welcomed on so many different teams boards because he always made a positive contribution. Had a truckload of funny gifs he could draw in too to keep things light.
Just a great all round guy with such a positive attitude. Really sad to hear this news and my thoughts are with his family, whom I remember him talking about many times on this board.

 

[Leonardo87]

RIP dude. Going to miss you, That really sucks,

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

The most difficult thing to do on this board is to go to other team's boards and not have them tear you to shreds.

I didn't really know GP, but every time you'd interact with him, you'd come out feeling a little better about things.

RIP a true legend.

 

[Hansen]

Really sad to hear this news. He was a gem.

Just so happy and enthusiastic, spammed the like button and it was 100% genuine.

He reached out to me a couple years ago to thank me for always sharing about first nations issues here and that while he didnt always agree with me he could see how much it matters and means to me. Just a level headed, open hearted lovely person to have in the community. He will be missed
