Very sad news: RIP Joker

[Froob]

Patsboy12 sends his condolences, he doesn’t post anymore but I text him daily:

I haven't posted in a couple of years now but Joker always made me laugh with his hatred for the JETe\NYJFL. He even invited me to come up to a game when I could. Shame I never got the chance to make it happen

RIP Joker - always enjoyed your posts

 

[PATS16N0]

Damn. So long, Joker.

 

[VrabelJr]

Rest well. I always enjoyed my interactions with him. Full of zest and a Pats Fan through and through.

 

[Lansdowne]

I’ll miss him and his spirited posts. Rest in peace.

Joker and I used to have a lot of exchanges in private during the Dynasty days. I was thinking about him last year while banned because I knew he was getting up there in age. Anyway, we were talking about an influx of obvious fakes in 2013-2015 here just to trash Brady while pretending to be “Pats fans” as cover to just troll the forum 24/7.

Found this closing out one of our conversations during the 2014 season.

“You are not a small fish, you are a Pats fan just like the rest of us Pats fans. Sit back and enjoy the show. We've been here for 2 decades now and God willing, will still be here long after old dogs like me have shuffled off this mortal coil.”

We’re all here for an eye blink. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if a man of the Roman Empire passed in 50 BC or 50 AD. The more I’ve learned about the oddities of quantum physics, the more I’ve come to be convinced our one trip around the world isn’t actually the end.

A good guy. A great contributor. A fun fan to converse with during the days of epic Patriot domination. Happy trails, Joker.

I wondered why he wasn't giving me the business lately. He called me Tom666, ha ha. I could have and did at times get along with him but I enjoyed his jabs more. Funny guy. I don't believe in an afterlife but if there is one I hope he's there entertaining the other souls. RIP Joker. I never came here without thinking of you.

Being admonished by @Joker is more of an honor than being praised by anybody.

There is a heart and soul of the Patriots, which is not visible to the media or ownership.

It lives in the lives, and memories, of players, coaches, employees, their families - and fans like Jeff.

He's a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Had to say I loved this btw.

 

[Froob]

Was just thinking, how fitting is it Joker never had to see the Rats beat us in 8 years?

Ahh yes, i'll never forget the day he told me to take a walk down by the pond and contemplate what i had posted.

He had some great monikers for people. Everytime I saw him call a poster "Numbcuck" (who I won't tag) I'd laugh IRL.

That’s the thing. As great as I think I am at ripping into people I am was in awe of his talents. Here is how to explain it. I am a musician When it comes to insults I am rock music. 4/4 time sig blunt and in your face

You know: **** you you ****. Kill yourself etc etc

Joker don’t play that. He was all jazz. Totally off the beat behind the sig and the unexpected.

I couldn’t for the life of my imitate him attacking someone. Try it. It’s impossible. It’s too difficult to do

 

[Dragda]

Sad, but thanks for letting us know

 

[Kasmir]

I am hoping some of his adversaries here will also pay tribute to him -- he was a worthy opponent for them.

It's certainly great to see the broad base of contributors to this thread -- including all of Joker's major adversaries except one.

Can you let me know the one. A pm will suffice

Thanks

RIP long time Patriots fan. You were enjoyed and will be missed. Thank you Tunescribe for digging this out and giving respect to Joker.
We are all aging including our Patriots' leader who dumped his long term girlfriend. Is he crashing? Mac Jones is not a winner.

And a very understandable exception if it is who I think it is. Some arguments are best left forgotten.

Joker was the maestro

I can remember the first time he responded to something I said. I don't remember what he said, but I just went "bro". I think I tipped my cap to him or something silly. Dude was a great contributor here.
