This is Goodbye

[Grantham]

The fact you took the effort to write this while going through all this pain and heartache...,,

I believe that this life is only temporary. We will meet again in Paradise. For now, lots of love for you and your family

 

[racerjoe]

Wow this hit me... I needed a moment before I could reply.

I am so sorry. Know that your presence here will forever be felt and missed. From the support already in this thread to the support coming in, you have been a big part of this board for the 16 years you have been here. I wish you well on your journey, and wish your family our thoughts.

Thank you for all you have done for us.

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis Grub. I hope you can dodge and weave and see the Canucks win the Cup this year. Thanks for all the back and forth over the years.

 

[Nucker101]

This was incredibly sad to read, wishing you and your family/friends all the best

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Wow! So sorry to hear that.
I always enjoyed your posts over the years and the insight and wit you provided even during the dark years. From one old timer HF poster to another: going to miss you! Take care.

 

[alternate]

Man, that sucks. God speed Grub.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Well, damn. I had wondered where you might have ventured to, Grubs. Certainly not what I, or anyone, expected. All the hugs in the world my guy, and I hope you're able to spend your time surrounded by friends and loved ones.

And when the boys win it all, we'll raise a glass.

 

[Jyrki]

Godspeed man, go out there and keep living until you can't anymore. Much love to you and those who are close to you.

 

[rypper]

I hope in your next life you get to come back as a canucks stanley cup ring.

But seriously that's rough. Sorry to hear.

 

[LordBacon]

This is just heartbreaking to read.
I really don’t know what to say in situations like this but we will always remember you.
Sending lots of internet hugs.

Hi Guys,

For 16 years hfboards especially HFCANUCKS have been a big part of my life, from my university years to my adult life I’ve made tons of memories here and lots of friends, from the glory Gillis era to the dark era of Jim Benning. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to continue the journey for the cup with you boys anymore.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer around 7 months ago, well let’s just say this is a battle I won’t be able to win. Thank you for the great memories for the past 16 years, it has been a damn great ride, a damn great ride. I hope you boys get to see the Canucks get a cup one day, hopefully god damn soon haha. Make sure you all live your lifes to the fullest and make sure you all have your yearly medical checkup (god damn important). Thank you to the mods for keeping this place lively all these years, especially Mr. Canucklehead. Hope that the coming years will fill you all with great happiness.

Thank you guys for everything.

Goodbye.

Blues fan coming in peace.

I pray the time you have left is lived to the fullest and brings nothing but happiness and joy.

 

[Tact]

This was extremely hard to read. I hope you’re able to spend meaningful time with your family and friends.

 

[clay]

This really guts me. F@$k cancer. I hope you find peace and savour the rest of your time with those closest to you. Thanks for your valuable input to this community over the years - you will be missed.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

for real, when we win let’s remember to have someone photoshop hughes pouring champagne out of the cup onto the ice for grub

 

[NoShowWilly]

Crushing to read but I appreciate you taking the time to let us know. hopefully you and your family find peace and as much joy as possible in your remaining time together.

Thank you for being a part of this community with us.

 

[Rowlet]

Sending any support I can, I remember (a bunch of accounts ago) seeing you in threads in the early Gillis era.

Reminds me a lot of Parabola, losing him was extremely rough, this is also extremely hard to hear.

When we win I'm gonna carve your name onto the HFCanuck Cup myself.

 

[olafsson]

f*** cancer. Seriously. You’ve been an admirable poster over the years, a shame to hear what’s going on.

I lost my sister last weekend to stage 4 cancer, I’m just happy I was able to say my last words to her in hospital. I hope you get to say your goodbyes to your loved ones and spend as much time as possible with them.

All the best to you and your friends and family.

 

[Kickassguy]

I'm so sorry to hear this, brother. Your presence in this virtual community of ours that we've all built and strengthened together will be missed, but not forgotten. I hope this team, the common thread that binds us all, finds every success you wish it to.

Wherever your journey may lead you next, I hope you find peace, joy, and love in both familiar and unexpected moments. You're in our thoughts.

Goodbye. I've never met you, but I do have some affinity with you since you always backed me when I supported Gillis. I hope you fight to the very end, cause my mentor have always told me to live life to the very last breath. Please do the same. My wife will be like who are you arguing with? and I will be like "I DON'T KNOW! WE ARE JUST ON A MESSAGE FORUM!!!"

 

[tantalum]

Horrible news. Absolutely heartbreaking. Live every day to its fullest and with those you love. You are a big part of this community and will certainly be missed.

Eddie Punch Clock as well.

We should really have a ring of honor for these posters.

One things for sure, he's getting his name etched onto our 2025 Cup thread.

"Vancouver Canucks- 2025 Stanley Cup Champions. Thanks Grub for the game winning stanchion goal!"

"Vancouver Canucks- 2028 Stanley Cup Champions for the fourth time in a row thanks to more weird flukey goals. Uhh Grub, we're good now!"

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Folks like you are who make HFBoards such a wonderful place to visit. It has been an honor posting with you all these years.

Goodbye my friend. Until we post again!

 

[Bubbles]

Sorry to hear this. We will all meet in the message forum in the sky someday, arguing the benefits of Linden Vey to the Sedins.

This is not a goodbye but a see you later. See you later, my friend.

Yeah, Eddie too, I think I was actually not here when he passed, I took a very long leave from here during the Benning blunder years.

'Rabs was really difficult for me because we went to the same game store and used to play board games together, Core Games at Brentwood.

 

[CanuckleBerry]

Thank you Grub for breathing so much life into these boards and this community over the years. Major appreciation for you taking the time to say goodbye and share your words. Do the best you can with the time you have. Godspeed, mate. And Go Canucks Go.
