RIP Ginger Papa

[PuckMunchkin]

I hope this doesn't come across as ignorant. I didn't realise that GP was a Canucks fan. Having seen him and interacted with him on so many different teams boards. I honestly had no idea. He came across as an intelligent, very funny, caring, all around hockey fan.

I can see how someone can find these two things as mutually exclusive.


But on topic;

Does anyone know if we could do something as a community for his family?

I'd like to tack on to this post. If there's anything we can do for this man past the grave, does that not qualify as an act of God? Should we not try to carry on GP's act even though he's not here? Can someone get in touch with his family?

For anyone reading this thread who hasn't encountered one of GP's many, many awesome posts, here is an example

Like, if it was a one-off, I'd be impressed

But he created sooooo many of these

Awful news. He was such an upbeat poster. I remember the time he went on a post liking streak after a big win in the GDT. He’ll be missed for sure.

What little I knew of him he was a real asset to the boards. Easy going and funny kinda like EPC who I "knew " online for 20 + years. Good guys.

His name was Roy, he was from Quesnel and I am crushed. I last spoke with Roy in the spring of 2023. He was one of the kindest and most generous people I know, and he was always quick to compliment you.

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

You summed him up well.

I'm clearly not the most community oriented poster around here..I try but I guess it's just not in my DNA.
That's said, there was one poster who DM'd me to tell me he appreciated my message. That was GP. He was a special dude. We could all learn from him.
