Unless someone took over his Facebook account, he is alive and well as of yesterday.

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

Justin is the name. Cats the game.

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.)

Justin is the name. Cats the game.
Fuck, I hope not. I lost track of him.

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?

Suicide? He suffered depression.

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.

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.

Fuck. That really sucks.

I actually had a WWF game going with him too. Like Brian, the last move was 9 days ago.

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.

Think they might be related? Maybe that's what I was thinking of?

Oiler's real name is Justen. No relation to Shrew. Saw him today.
