[LordKOTL]

Fucking brutal

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Too bad it wasn't Bobby Hull.

I hate to break it to you guys but 1/3 elderly die while having some form of dementia. It's not at all uncommon.

Yeah, my grandpa has it right now. It's not pleasant.

Although his Christmas toast this year was a hilarious dick joke at the expense of all the males in the family. So take the good with the bad.

I'll never understand why we should know this. Family is under and shouldn't be under any obligation to share this news.

Part of it may be him still likely being considered a Blackhawks employee as one of the team's ambassadors.

Meh. It's nobody's business but the families.

Oh, I agree. But he's usually present at most home games. I figure that's why they decided to announce this.

Completely fuckin' sucks! My favorite Hawk, and athlete, of all time.

Keep him in your thoughts (and prayers).

Nobody said we should know it or have a right to. Obviously the family has chosen to share the news, as you would with friends.

Perhaps because Stan will no longer be making public appearances. Perhaps because he will, and the family wants people to know so they understand.

 

[TL1961]

Anyway....more importantly.

God bless you, Stan!! We love you and are praying for you.

This really necessary?

 

[DMelt36]

This really necessary?

May not go as far as Grimson's comment but Bobby Hull sucks.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

This really necessary?

Is beating your wife necessary? No. But he's still allowed to be an "ambassador".

**** Bobby Hull. I can't wait to piss on his grave.

Y'all know how touch-feely fuzzy Grim gets about things.
