Saying farewell to Fugu :( Update: Obituary in OP

[AmericanDream]

such a great way to pay respect to her by renaming this board in her honor.

we all have to step up even more when posting in here to maintain her high level of standards.

and if I can add a bit of humor which I know she would appreciate, if something happens to me, I would like to request the renaming of the prospect board in my honor???.....or maybe can I get the All other USA Amateur, USHL, NAHL, USNDP etc board???........ok ok, I will take the Wrestling board!

RIP Fugu!

 

[Montrealer]

Wow, that's really sad news. RIP Fugu and my sympathies to her family and friends. And great idea renaming the board in her honour.

I think @Live in the Now is a wrestling fan so I think he gets that one.

@Doctor No gets the By the Numbers sub-forum.

Fugu's husband has sent me the details of Fugu's memorial service.

I hope some BoH members who live in the Vancouver/Seattle corridor can represent us.

He expressly said

It would be cool if some of the guys from the forum who live in the area are able to make it. Even without that, it has been tremendously helpful to me to read the generous comments by her friends on the forum and on the donation page which you guys set up for her. I saw last night that you had renamed the BoH forum for her, which is really awesome.

It will be Monday, October 8th (Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving)

Bellingham Cruise Terminal,

Instead of sending flowers, we are asking people to consider donating to the Breast Cancer Research Fund at https://give.bcrf.org/fundraiser/1658206
or to the charity of their choice.

Thanks for posting that. I'm glad the service is in her home town. She changed my life.

If I still lived in Vancouver I would go

I love the new forum name.

RIP Fugu

Terrible news hearing of her passing. Cancer indeed sucks. Glad you guys honored her by renaming this board. RIP

I am genuinely sorry to hear of this, I have been around HF for quite a few years, and enjoyed reading her posts. It is very classy to rename this board after her. My condolences to all that knew and loved her.

 

[Pilky01]

She was a tremendous contributor here. Happy to see the board named after her.

 

[GoJackets1]

BoH has been renamed in her honor

I just noticed this today, and it is fantastic. Thank you.

 

[Fenway]

I learned this today from Fugu's husband.

Her parents were able to escape Yugoslavia in 1969 when she was 7 and they resettled to East Chicago, Indiana and her father worked at a steel mill there for 40 years.

 

[BLONG7]

Sad news, condolences to her family.

And I just learned that she was from the same part of the world as I am. My grandmother from father side was born and raised in the same city as Fugu (Prnjavor). World is indeed such a small place.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Its been a long time since I've been by this forum. This is truly devestating news. RIP Fugu.

Seriously, my hat's off to whoever did the photoshop work.

Even if I didn't love the message behind it, it does a great job mixing with the logo.

 

[Mightygoose]

Great job with the updated logo

 

[tfong]

That's a good logo. GJ peeps.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I haven't been around much during the offseason so I'm just finding out about it now, very sad news. My condolences to her family and friends.

 

[Fenway]

I ordered this online and sent it to Fugu's husband and he emailed me that he plans to display it at her memorial next Monday.

You are a classy person, Fenway. Thank you.

You are a classy person, Fenway. Thank you.

I must admit I had second thoughts after I ordered the item that the family would think it was tacky but my initial instinct was correct.

It is killing me that I can not make it out there for her 'Celebration of Life' but October 8th is the Bruins home opener and our crews are spread thin because of the baseball playoffs.

I really hope that someone who is a BoH regular and lives in the Seattle/Vancouver corridor can represent us on Monday at her Celebration of Life.

My understanding is the service will be recorded and made available to watch online.

When I first became a Mod at HF it was because @Killion nominated me for BoH and Fugu agreed. Over the years she kept promoting me until finally I was given the keys to the entire board. A year ago she asked me to become the Mod supervisor at BoH on an interim basis until she was strong enough to return.

The last thing she was involved in on BoH was putting the Coyotes Megathread on hiatus which she wanted to be done but she agreed with my suggestion to give notice that we would shut it down.
