Saying goodbye to Fugu - Update: Obituary in OP

[Mike Jones]

I just came over and saw this terrible news. I had a few encounters with her over on the business board and she bore my ignorance and stupidity like a trooper. She really knew her stuff and really woke me up to more than a few realities. I'll raise a glass for her later today.

I never know what to say in situations like these. I wish her family the best, though. That's all I know how to say. It has been a pleasure to know her and I'm sad that she's gone.

Wasn't aware she was from around this part of the world

 

[BahlDeep]

Well if there wasn't any beautiful women in heaven, now there's at least one for sure.

Thoughts and prayers to the family

Back in the day, I would have a few arguments with Fugu on the BOH forum. After a few hundred debates on these forums, I have learned to separate those who simply know their stuff, and someone who is fundamentally intelligent. A critical thinker doesn't have to attack the person, get defensive, and resort to logical fallacies to accomplish victory because an inherently intelligent person only achieves victory when they've learned something new.

Fugu was an intelligent person. But after learning so much from her, she also knew her stuff.

We were all blessed to have a teacher so eager to share her knowledge. I enjoyed every discussion with her. May she rest in peace.

How terribly sad. RIP kind lady.

Never met or spoke to her. But I'd like to thank her for all the work to keep HF around.

Good bye

Man, after reading this if I owned an NHL team would have named her GM.

Unfortunately I did not have a honor to meet her, but man... Obviously she was so beautiful((( Rest in peace. Want to say her family: stay strong.

RIP. I never interacted with you, but I was certainly aware of your presence on this board and it really saddened me to hear of your passing.

 

[A Loyal Demidog]

I'm very sad to hear about this. This is heartbreaking news. I was once banned from HFBoards and it was Fugu who gave me a 2nd chance. I was in a very dark place in my life, and hockey was the only thing that could make me smile, and I'm forever indebted to Fugu for giving me a 2nd chance to be part of a community I very much love and deeply appreciate. It speaks volumes when someone can sympathize and give you a chance you may not have deserved - but that is who Fugu was: a caring and understanding person.

I cannot imagine what her family and friends must be going through in this very dark time. I wish Fugu rests in peace, and that her family and friends only and always remember the very best of her.

RIP Fugu.

If I wasnt on a business trip, I would definitely be at the service.. If anyone here is going, please pass my deepest regards for me, if even without words.

 

[New Jersey]

After reading the obit, another RIP is necessary.

Seemed like such a kind lady. I remember her always being super-smart and funny when I first signed up on this site and merely lurked on the main board.

Condolences to the people who loved her.

The death of a giant. I knew Fugu for many years on an aside note. A friend Papa of mine wrote a beautiful poem I would like to share with all of you and on her memorial page.

I am still sad

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Still really sad. Afforded me the opportunity to be a mod here for years, and she helped me so much during that time period where I was going through some personal issues re: mental health and what I wanted to do school and career wise. I wish I could have told her how grateful I was for her help more.

I never knew her on here but reading all the stories from you guys I have both a smile and tears.

Seems like a amazing person. I actually don’t live too far away and have the day off. Almost tempted to go (not sure if that’s appropriate) just to listen to the celebration of her life.

My Aunt died a horrible death from cancer. I’m from Australia but live in Canada now so wasn’t able to go to her funeral. I did see her just as the cancer came back again (she beat it once) so I saw her in a better state than the end. Just heartbreaking stuff though.

 

[Dolemite]

Fugu and I worked a lot together behind the scenes when I was doing the NHL media thing. Nothing but mad respect for her and like Parabola, this is a huge loss to the HFBoards community.

RIP

f*** cancer.

 

[Meatball]

Rest in peace.

 

[Mike Louis]

So sad to hear the news, my condolences to Fugu’s family. May she find peace in Heaven.

I'd like to ask the mods to turn off the filter for a bit so we can post f*** CANCER with the appropriate amount of sincerity.

Even if not directly interacting, it was impossible not to know Fugu: Rest in Peace Lady.
