It is with much regret and sadness to inform you friends that a fellow TBPer has passed. JR (@skingraft) was hit by a car Thursday morning on east twiggs street in downtown Tampa while crossing the street. He sustained heavy neurological damage and succumbed to his wounds last night as 6:39 pm EST at the age of 42 with his friends and family their being faithful as he was faithful to our country. As much as he was veteran on the war on terror he was a father. His daughter Penelope (penny) was his only child and is currently just 11 years old.  JR was an avid poster here on the site and after awhile got me hooked as well for a time. I met JR when he gotten seats next to us in 2008 in section 239. I was about 11 years old at the time and I always looked forward to see my buddy as the bulls took the field. I'm sure most of you remember as well he came to this board for support as he went to go over to Ukraine. He was astonished by the support he received from this community and hadn't witnessed something like that before in his life. As one of his close friends I wish to thank you all for the support you have given him and the opportunity that you we're able to have in his life. I hope one day to gaze upon heavens seen and see him guarding the street of heaven among the many United States Marines. 

 

I'll keep the board posted on funeral arrangements when I have been informed.

We all know he was a huge bulls fan, maybe we can crowd fund a brick or plaque for  in memory of him at the new OCS. I know a few other OG's on the board passed and deserve one as well.

Sorry to hear this awful news.  I met JR in lot 6 before I knew he was "skingraft."  I used to enjoy bumping into him in lot 6 and up in the RJS club area.  We had a little inside joke here on theBullsPen where we would reference a specific south park episode that we had discussed at a game.  Great guy.  Great Bulls fan.  He will be truly missed.
