Not referring to Jhiphop. He just had a knack for this type of thing.

When I get ahold of him, I will fuck him up, but I'll try not to kill him. I'll try. No promises. Except I promist to fuck him up (for free.)

Fuck, I hope not. I lost track of him.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

To clarify it for anyone not connecting the dots, based on a post on his Facebook page, it does look like we've lost Shrew (Justin Oller). He hadn't posted hereabouts in a long time, but I always enjoyed his stuff when he did so. RIP!

He turned me on to an author that I love, and subsequently read about 10 of his books (Bernard Cornwell).

Really? What happened? I played Words With Friends with him. Isn't he related to someone still here or am I thinking of someone else?

All I know is what I read on his FB page. Some friend of his wrote a death notice and a very short eulogy.

Still had an active game with him though he was a day away from getting timed out. I guess whatever happened was 9 days ago.

Resigned to give him a last victory. Rest in peace, buddy.

It's not much, but:
Very sad news of another friend's passing. Rest in peace, Justin Oller. My childhood friend. My high school cross country teammate and confidant. You were a tremendous source of humor, kindness, and inspiration. You loved animals and nature and had a genuine thirst for knowledge. Miss you, buddy. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Thanks. I figuratively got off my ass and saw it. He had a lot of swampers as facebook friends. I cant find anything in the local Attleboro, MA paper, the Sun-Chronicle.

Dammit.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

He came to eat lunch with me at Redbones with a few other Swampers, IIRC, when I visited a while back. This sucks.

And what's this about JHiphop? Is he ok?

Looks like it was removed from his FB page.

He was/is a great guy. Helped me move my now wife into our first apartment together, it was like 95 with 95% humidity and he refused to even let me buy him a gatorade.

I truly hope the rumour isn't true.

Damn, it is. I was on my wife's computer and looked, guess it only shared with friends so I didn't see it.

This sucks.

Awful.

Just had dinner and drinks last week with timgod last week. I think he would have mentioned if something happened to jhiphop other than being husband/father.

And timgod is fine, too.

DSG, the thread title is misleading. It is Shrew (Justin Oller), that is the Swamper in question.

The facebook thread announcing his death now includes a note from his sister-in-law who promises to include a link to his newspaper obituary, when it gets published.

Yeah no offense HDO but I edited the thread title to make it clearer and to honor Shrew.

I followed the thread, but Johnnie's question seemed genuine, so I figured I would answer.
