Remembering Mr T

  • Thread starter Thread starter cw

Aww....he was a great addition to the site. Though I haven't been around much, I remember him fondly and wish his family well.
 
Just from his posts on this forum, you got a real sense of how awesome of a person he was.  He will be missed.  :'(
 
One of the most knowlegeable and most articulated posters on this site. I thoroughly enjoyed his lengthy messages. MrT will be missed.
My condolences to the family.
 
RIP Mr T. 

I remember a while ago he came back for a short duration, as it was getting increasingly difficult for him to post.  I remember we had some conversations about using a text to speech program to help him post on the site. 

I often log on hoping to see his name again. 

 
I joined TMLfans at a time when Mr.T was posting frequently.  I always enjoyed his thoughtful and intelligent arguments, and although he hadn't posted in quite a while he remains one of the most memorable individuals since I've been here.  He will be missed!
 
Very sad...when I first joined the site in 2004, T was one of the more friendly and welcoming people on this site.  He was very well spoken and very passionate.  I imagine it's been a hard couple years for him, but he is no longer suffering.

RIP Chris.  Hopefully we'll get to meet on another plain one day...
 
This thread makes it so clear that Mr T was universally loved and respected at tmlfans. His posts really, truly were the best. I have been missing him for quite a while. He was one of the most active posters when I joined.  And, to be completely honest, this site really isnt the same without him. I always hoped he would be able to return somehow.  Heartfelt condolences to his wife and daughter.

cw, would his daughter object to forwarding a photo? Or, do you folks think that's out of taste?

it may have been on the previous incarnation of this site, before the great crash, but I'm pretty sure there was a picture of him here at one point?when he was explaining what was up with him, but before his situation became so incapacitating. Or maybe he'd messaged me one at some point?I have a clear memory of such a photo, but it's not in my messages folder so I think it must have been long enough ago that the site had since had its devastating crash.

:-\
 
I'm saddened by this news, though not surprised. I hope he's at peace now. It hits close to home as my twin brother also has MS.

I definitely enjoyed his posts and our private conversations, as few as they were.

I wish his family all the strength. The obviously large impact he had here, on a hockey discussion board, can only be but the smallest glimpse of the large impact he must have had on so many others outside of this forum. He'll be dearly missed.
 
To remember Sakura, we took donations and purchased a tree that was planted in High Park.
It was suggested that we do the same or take donations for Multiple Sclerosis. ..

Any thoughts?
 
RIP

Mr T was someone whose insight added to my experience of Hockey and the Leafs. His diligence in researching and presenting his views is a rare thing.
 
Rest In Peace Chris.  Your bantor and conversations, both on this site and in personal conversations will be cherished, as one who appieciated and respected your vast insight particularly on the subject of hockey & the Leafs.

Your posts & replies harboured a certain way of making you a TMLfan favourite amongst many of us here on this board.  Your wittiness, eloquence, flair and presentation made this site a worthwhile endeavor to participate in.  Even though I personally never met you, Chris, I (as certainly others as well), felt like I had known you as a friend all these years since I joined TMLfans (in the mid-decade).

If there's anyone who knows what the word 'miserable' means in the face of ongoing health ailments, believe you me I know.  And empathize. No matter how great or how small the problem, how handicapping or disabling it can be, it takes a certain amount of 'bravery' to get on in life.  That was you Mr T.  Thank you for your dedication to TMLfans.

Condolences to the family.
 
I always looked forward to any post by MrT. I only knew vaguely of his illness but I knew something was there. I hoped for recovery even though I wondered where he was for the last year or so.

Unfortunately it didn't work out that way, but I'll always remember him as sort of a counter part to CW and viewed him as one of the elder statesmen when I joined.

He will be missed.

I'd be happy to make a contribution.  I'm sure his family would appreciate the gesture.
 
Condolences to the family. T was a thoughtful poster who obviously had an impact on everyone here, his insight and helpfulness was already missed, hopefully we can carry that positive energy and inertia with us.

Thanks for posting the correspondence, I think most felt the news coming in one way or another but the finality of it is hitting home. Rest in peace Mr T.

I didn't know Mr. T on a personal level, but enjoyed his posts here, I'd be Interested in contributing with which ever is decided. Would it be possible to plant a tree next to the one you guys/gals did for Sakura?

Rest in peace Mr. T, you will be missed.

I was wondering if this would also serve as a gesture of some sort of 'tribute' to an individual. (I have in recent years given in memory of close family, usually with their name(s) inscribed on a pavilion in any one of the Trail areas of one's choice).

http://tctrail.ca/donate/make-a-gift-in-tribute/).

If not, then a tree planted somewhere in the city, (preferably closer to the family's area of residence if possible), would also be a very well-thought out idea.

 
As a long time Leaf fan, I was a regular visitor to this site long before I became a member.  I don't post often but I still usually visit at least once a day.  It was the passion of certain members which finally convinced me to go ahead and join so I could actually take part in conversations from time to time.  While I'm not posting often, please take no offence when I say 'we' have lost a great friend.  My condolences to the family.  May 'T's' memory live on not only through our memories but also through our 'MOTM'. RIP Mr. T
