Unhappy

RIP Jurassic! I never met you but I enjoyed trading barbs with you here in cyberland. I also learned from you. May he rest in peace.

Although I haven't been on the board that long, I really came to admire JR's posts. It's a sad, sad thing that he won't be around any longer, although he will always live through his posts. RIP fella.

It is a testament to his character and reverence we all had for Jurassic and his knowledge that we all can write with tears in our eyes about a man most of us never met.

Bringing to remembrance some of his posts I am left to muse...if I ever get a chance to go ref in Italy, to whom do I go to learn how to call baschettiball.

An obituary for Bruce has been published:

Bruce Frank Lorenz - Obituaries - Brantford, ON - Your Life Moments

The outpouring of condolences and support for Betty has been shocking. She is amazed at the connections that Bruce had made.

Thank you to everyone here.

Very sad news.

Woody - thanks so much for making me become a better official. Thanks for replying to my late night PMs in the early stages of my career when I just had to know if I was right or wrong and how I could improve. It was always a joy for me to read your interps.

Enjoy watching all the games from upstairs!

Rest in peace.
