I know, I should have posted this months ago.

Flames_Gimp passed on August 7, 2024 after a hospital stay of a few weeks. Out of respect for him I'll skip the medical details and say that he went peacefully surrounded by his family.

FG and I had been friends for 25 years. Our friendship was centered around the Calgary Flames. We had season tickets for four years culminating with the 2004 Playoff run where we attended every home game.

He was a huge Flames fan and hated the Oilers with that same veracity. He hadn't even changed his Facebook picture back from the Florida Panthers logo as it remains today.

I know he was a bit polarizing at times on CP. His humour certainly wasn't vanilla.

He was my friend. I did not have cry online on May 30 on my bingo card...
