RE: The Gray Avenger
I haven't been around in a while, but I wanted to drop my two cents in.

GA was a good man by most accounts. While we didn't agree on a lot of things, he was loyal and was a tremendous fan. When fans of other schools stop by to pay their respects to someone they've likely never met, that means you did this life right.

Rest in peace GA.

RE: The Gray Avenger
So sorry to hear about GA. I'm not on the boards as much these days.
I remember him touting the traditional phrase "Fight Like Tigers"!
Or was it "Fight Like Hound Dogs"?

Sad to hear.

I'm never on here anymore and just jumped on and became curious to who is still here. Sorry for the family's loss

As someone once posted, when you read a Gray Avenger post, you can't help but read it with Sean Connery's voice in your head.

We have lost a board icon, and he will be greatly, greatly missed.

Very well stated and it reflects my sentiments exactly. His were among the first posts I ever read when I first came here. RIP Sir.

Thank you. GA was a season ticket holder ever since the 1960's. He never missed a home game and always stayed till the very end. This was the first game my mom ever attended without him. It was emotional but we got through it and were ecstatic about the win. GTG!

That's very sad. The Gray Avenger always posted with humor, and class, and connected us with the tradition of the University. I miss him.

This is the first time I've logged in, in a very long time and I am so sorry to hear this. He definitely bled blue and gray. This board will be less entertaining without him around.

I can honestly say that after Friday night, GA will "be with us" at LBMS. He might even add a little help down at the South End Zone goal line from now on. Thanks in advance, GA!!!

I haven't been on here in a while. Life has been crazy so I've just been checking in and reading every few months or so. I just saw this post. I am so sorry for your loss. Your father was a great Tiger fan. No one ever doubted his loyalty. I will be praying for you family.
