Finless - RIP (1 Viewer)

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Sitting in my car drinking a coffee and reading the paper while waiting for my son's hockey game to start...never look at obits but while leafing through the Boston Globe pic of Chris caught my eye, one of the fishing photos, accompanied by a nice write up.

Anyone able to find this online?

Chris valued justice and championed the underdog. He could sell ice to an Eskimo-but he wouldn't. -

So awesome. It's like he wrote his own obit.

I just wanna say that nobody should feel bad for hijacking this thread if it leads to more awareness. Awareness for others to never try it, to inspire us to help a friend or loved one, or even as a reminder to treat people better. Awake up call for some.

Christ I'm getting soft.

As it's going on now at this moment, I've said a prayer for him and his family. I knew him less than most of you as I didn't participate in his threads, but the loss of a life so young and at his own hands of despair is heartbreaking. RIP and God bless.

He wanted help, but he wanted help on his terms. And his terms were incompatible with.... living a happy life. Thus the cycle of substance abuse. Wish I had more answers, but that's all I got.

[Judge Smails]

Man, I've been so busy lately I missed this. Addiction is a #####. RIP Fin......

 

[PatsWillWin]

Dooshing it up in the Deflategate thread made me think of Fin. Could've used him around for this one. :(

RIP

I wish I had been kinder and more understanding of him. I treated him with skepticism and at times, scorn. I didn't know what or really who he was but recognized he had a respectful following from some of the best minds on this board. I'm sorry I wasn't nicer to you, Fin. I talked to you once and in that moment, I recognized that you were more than a showman on a message board....you were a person. RIP Fin. You are going to be missed.

A lot of lessons to be learned here.

DMT isn't a problem. I won't be smoking it any time soon either. I've smoked enough. Headed to an AA meeting. Gonna get some recovery and peep some Newbury Street trim.

Last words. How sad. Rip
