RIP Cap'n Cat Memorial Thread

[Gil Dobie]

Going to miss your humor big guy. Rest in Peace

I was pretty devastated when I found out yesterday. I met him when I was 19 and spent a lot of time with him through my college years and well into my 20s. We hadn't been as in touch the last couple years but I would still always check to see what he was up to.

Him and his brother (because what about D1B?) were truly the most genuine and caring people you could imagine, all while playing his schtick online better than anyone ever.

I hope there are plenty of pigeons for him wherever he is.

Really sad to hear the news. A mainstay of the early years.

Met him twice - once at an NAU game in Flagstaff, and he and D1B came down to my wedding.

Just sticking my head back in to pay a little tribute…

I never met Cap’n in person although D1B and I met for beers in DC in 2012. Cap’n was one of the most hilarious posters on this forum and I enjoyed sparring with him from time to time.

He had his online persona, but IRL he was one of the nicest guys. The world is a lesser place today.

Hey Bill… in heaven, you can finally have that vagina!

Always interesting in this world of online chat that when someone you've never met before has passed, you can still miss them like you've been friends for years. RIP Cap'n!

O Cap'n, my Cap'n.

People say things like "One of a kind" and so forth too much but this guy fits that...Bill. He was so funny and as clenzy said a true caring individual that would call and text about once a month or so with something funny or just a simple "How you doing man, what's going on in Missoula?"

God dang it he was a smart and funny dude and he is the cornerstone of what AGS was built on. RIP Bill, I really loved having you as a friend. My life has been better for having known you.

Gil, thank you for posting this up and I know why you put it where you did but I want everyone, even those not logged in to see it so I moved this to the FCS Discussion area.

Thanks for doing that although it leaves me grief-stricken because I'd been meaning to text him and ask where was my midget/chicks-with-dicks porn was. I'll miss making that road trip with the Velvet Underground and you, Bill.

This is terrible news. I never met Bill in person, but I spoke to him on the phone at Baldy’s house once after a GSU game and a lot of drinking. He was a big-hearted guy with a great sense of humor, and he was a mainstay of this board for years. Referring to him in the past tense just doesn’t make sense. RIP.

Dang. I got the chance to meet Bill and his brother in Missoula. Hard to miss as they were two of the largest humans I ever met. Both with a heart of gold and great guys. Also, brought a truck full of booze with them to the tailgate, it was classic!
