Jack passed away a few days ago. Since he posted in here quite a bit, figured you guys would want to know..

 

[Sportfan2017]

Sorry to hear of his loss. Sympathies to his family and friends. Wishing them the best.

 

[Dogwelder]

Sorry to hear it. Thank you for letting us know.

 

[McScoreley]

RIP Jack. Condolences to his family and loved ones. Loved it whenever he posted. Crazy how I only knew him by his screen name until now but feel very much like I lost a dear friend. He will be very much missed.

He has the best seats in the house now for Big Tens and NCAAs.

Damn. God bless. 😢

 

[PSUcup1]

Damn. That sucks. He was a good poster and I’m sure A good man. Prayers to his family and friends

 

[82bordeaux]

Sad news. Unlike most of us, he always acquitted himself with class. God bless Jack's friends and family.

 

[pish69]

RIP

 

[Used2BEerie]

He will be missed. Condolences to all he touched.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

That’s terrible. Like was said above, he always acquitted himself with class here.

I enjoyed his contributions and noted 1 time after a particularly genial post:

“@minnhawkeye is the man. Seems like an Old school dude and I love the Angry Herky avatar”

RIP Jack

Very sorry to hear that. As others have said, he added value to the discussions. Was he ill?

 

[raslen007]

Sad news. I wish he could have watched the Hawks win the title one more time.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

He was one heck of a wrestling fan. He always reminded me of my old man between the typing and the Hawk fandom.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Sad news, prayers for his family.

 

[nittinsc]

Fly High MinnHawkeye, you will be missed.

 

[dunkej01]

Pretty sure folks on here met him at nationals or b14s. He was a true blue Iowa fan but also a fan of the sport

He will be missed

RIP

I had the pleasure of meeting Jack a few times. The guy loved the sport and knew his shit. We lost a good one.

God Bless MinnHawkeye. Rest in Peace

RIP Jack, enjoy your best seat in the house.

I know of at least one. Reached out to him as we haven't seen him post in a while.

Sadly, I did not have a chance to meet him. Wish I had, one of the good guys. May his family have comfort in this difficult time.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Rest easy, Jack. I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity to watch your beloved Hawkeyes compete for the big prize these last two seasons.

 

[WildTurk]

Wrestling lost a great fan.. RIP

 

[nerfstate]

Oh man, that definitely makes me sad. He was one of the good ones! Rest well, my friend!

 

[clucas]

Man, that is really tough news. We certainly have our differences of opinion and are passionate about our respective teams, but the wrestling community is tighter than any other I have experienced. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

 

[El-Jefe]

Never met him, but it feels like losing an old friend.

Deepest condolences to his survivors.

 

[ZepGraffiti]

I liked minnhawkeye. RIP Jack

So sad to hear. I met Jack in person in Oklahoma City in 2014, and we had stayed in touch periodically. I considered him a friend and will miss his kind soul. God Speed MinnHawkeye!!

 

[WildTurk]

His obituary says 82. Thats a good stretch in my book. Anybody here close to that age?

 

[PSU Mike]

Oh man, that’s really sad. He brought a lot around here in a friendly way. R.I.P., Jack. Wish we could have met at some point.

 

[Shifty15]

May Jack Rest In Peace and now watch wrestling from a front row seat! Prayers for his family.

 

[5q]

As we say in orthodoxy , May his memories be eternal

 

[Dungeon Yankee]

Yes. I will be 80 in December.

 

[LHavenlion]

Dang. So sorry to hear that. RIP, Jack.

I’m sure WildTurk meant well, but maybe this type of thread should not become a chitchat thread.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Sorry to hear that. Didn't know the man, but he seemed like a very decent fellow, based solely on his posts on this board.

 

[Roar More]

MinnHawkeye's passing diminishes us all as his informed civility raised us all. He will be missed.

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

Really enjoyed your posts MinnHawkeye, rest in peace

 

[WildTurk]

I’m sure WildTurk meant well, but maybe this type of thread should not become a chitchat thread.

My bad. I really was reacting to realizing he was 82 and still going hard. I'm glad Chief shared his obituary on HR. It looks like he had a full life with many great stories to tell. Like several have said before, he has the best seat to watch Hawkeye wrestling now

Roar posted not long ago about there being 1 percenters on both ends of the spectrum. Jack was 100 percent... WITHOUT A DOUBT...a TOP 1 percenter on these boards. Didn't know him outside of here but enjoyed him immensely.
