This.

I haven't posted on here as much as I'd like lately for several reasons, but I'm always lurking and learning as much as I can about the game. I learned so much from Tommy, even though I was never able to show him my appreciation. I always enjoyed his posts, and was one of my favorite posters by far. I'll miss you Tommy. RIP

What....How... :(

I can't believe this has happened. I remember reading one of his insightful posts just the other day. He will truly be missed.

Rest in Peace, good sir.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

It's going to be odd thinking of this board without him. I can't remember a time I was here when Bulls6/Tommy wasn't making his presence felt; his contributions have been many. Aside from losing a great guy, we're really going to miss his perspective. I feel "old" in that I remember the pre-Jordan days as a rather young child. Tommy actually remembered the inception of the team! Is there anyone else on here who can say that?

Really sad to hear the news, he will absolutely be missed on these boards. I along with thousands of others have enjoyed his thoughts, insights and posting style for a long time. He's definitely in the realGM hall of fame and a perennial first team all-realGM selection.

I'd like to think those close to him personally in the real world will be sent a link to this thread and begin to appreciate the impact the guy had on a great many others lives.

OMG, how did I miss this thread? So sad. He was easily one of my favorite posters. R.I.P George. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Just seen this and am in shock. This has and will continue knock me back. Never would I imagine when I started posting here that I would feel such a connection with so many people.

Tommy/George was a very funny guy and the best bit was that I never really knew if he was trying to make people laugh, or if he was just funny without knowing/trying. Just a very kind and warm personality.

I knew he was ill, but I just never expected this.

RIP George. Gonna be missed big time.

One of my all-time favourite posters and mods. He was always insightful and a genuinely nice guy. If there is a realgm hall of fame, he'll be first ballot material.

RIP

Three big losses. When people post week after week, year after year, and suddenly they are gone -- it's shocking. Kryv said it best "stunned and saddened."

Not sure of the circumstances surrounding Tommy's life (age, medical history, etc) but he will be missed. When the day arrives that Derrick hoists the trophy, Tommy will be smiling down from above.

very sad news.
RIP, and condolences to his family.

It feels sad knowing he won't be on these forums anymore. Besides his great posts and the job he did behind the curtains as a moderator, what will be missed more will be his presence. Even though i didn't know him personally he was one of the familiar faces in the forum, one of those you get accustomed to see. I know there have been others but i was newer or didn't know them enough. I wasn't prepared to see one of those avatars i see almost everyday vanish.
