Sad news regarding CAHusky

[wheelerdog]

I have some really sad news to share. Last week, CAHusky passed away after a brief illness. He was 51. He left us way to soon.

My wife and I traveled to many UConn games with him over the last dozen years. I can’t really find the right words to describe what a wonderful guy he was. Our hearts are broken.

Goodbye, buddy. You will be sorely missed.

Damn!! If we had a Boneyard HOF he'd be in it. So sad to hear this, I know he'd disagree but it kinda makes tonight's game not so important.

 

[tykurez]

Oh no - this is shocking. Condolences to his family - that really is far too soon.

 

[TRest]

I'm so sorry for his family and friends. Really nothing else to say, just terrible news.

 

[Guapo]

Awful. Sorry to hear about this.

51 used to seem ancient. Not so much anymore.

So sad.

Geezus, I'm so sad to hear this. He was one of the best posters we ever had here. This is incredibly sad news and I'm so sorry you lost your friend. Huskies will win one for him tonight.

 

[HooperScooper]

Oh wow. He's been on here as long as I can remember. Way too young to be gone. RIP.

 

[NJHusky]

OMG that is terrible news. Never met him but would keep me up to date on the ski conditions in Tahoe

Way too young

Condolences

 

[UconnU]

One of the best posters on here. Rest in peace CA, You will be missed.

 

[intlzncster]

Holy @#$#. Been here forever and was a great, great dude. Really enjoyed him.

So sorry to hear this.

 

[Marat]

That just s*cks. Very said to hear of this especially when it's a long-time Boneyarder. Condolences to his family .

 

[HooperScooper]

wheelerdog, do you have a link to his obituary? I'd like to read it. I met him at one of the Final Fours but I forgot his name.

It's kind of strange that many of us who have been on here for a long time know so much about other posters that you feel like you know them. We knew where CAHusky grew up, his story how he ended up at UConn, what his job was and where he lived, his past marriage, his dating habits, things he did like skiing, etc. Feels like I knew him well. Very sad to read about him passing away.

Is anything set up asking for support? Always happy to help a BY family.

So sorry to hear this. Sad loss. Followed him on the yard.

 

[SoCalCanine]

Very sad news. Although I'm usually just a lurker and despite him being a NoCal guy and me being SoCal, I always thought one day we would end up at the same Husky game and meet. I always enjoyed his takes, even when I disagreed. Way too young to leave us. RIP

Damn. I had been wondering where he's been. Great poster and I always hoped I'd meet him.

Way, way too young. Condolences to his family and friends.

As Warren Zevon said, enjoy every sandwich.

 

[ZenConn]

OH MAN. I'm so sorry to hear this. Way too young and a great poster here on the BY.

We'll all miss him. RIP.

 

[UConnStats]

That’s gut-wrenching. So sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

 

[kansashusky]

Awful. One of the OGs here. Thoughts with him.

 

[CTMike]

Rest In Peace ... gone way too soon.

Totally agree and then life moves on like nothing happened. We all go back to our tasks for the day and then watch our Huskies tonight. It's cruel and I sometimes have trouble wrapping my head around it.

RIP CAHusky, you clearly left a lasting impression on those who knew you, at the end of the day that's about all we can ask for.

 

[ctchamps]

That's horrific news. RIP CAHusky. Prayers for family and friends.

RIP CAHusky. Been reading his thoughts for years. Very sad to hear this.

Horrible news, especially around the holidays. May he rest in peace.
