I wanted to inform the forum of YOOPERMAN's (my Dad) passing

[jeweler man]

Thanks so much for sharing Son Of Yoop. Never met your dad in person...though we lived right around the corner from each other for the last 2 years. I have since enjoyed meeting your Mom. Nina is a lovely lady....I always enjoy her visits. She even brought me some of her homemade choke cherry wine. As like everybody.....I sure do miss your dad's wit and presence here on the forum. He was a rare breed.

I told her I was gonna order pizza, but I heard it takes too long.

Haha, classic! Thanks for the laugh. I'm glad that Deb was able to help you and the present went over well.

superb!

Thank you sharing with us Rob. Reading your Dad's email was almost like he was talking to me directly. Even though we never met in person, I considered him my friend.

Deb, once again you amaze me in the lengths you go to to help us forum members. Not to sound like a kiss ass but I believe that without you this place would shrivel and die. Thank you again!

[Sharkbait]

What a great read, especially at his time of the year.

[Panoptes]

Thanks for sharing S o Y.

His legacy will live on in this place for a long time.

[LionsNC]

Thanks for sharing Son of Yooper and Thank you Deb for being such a trooper!

If the Lions win the SB, I will truly believe in miracles and the power of Yoop, Ned & Skate (maybe Killer too if he isn't too busy polishing Bobby Layne's helmet)

[Sharkbait]

Hey, even Bobby Layne has to be smiling today.

[Islair]

That email was really good, classic Yoop about the pizza.

That is a great gift, just hearing his voice through his words had to make your Mom happy and sad at the same time, but so worth it to hear his voice again.

[Desert Lion]

We got there Yoop. Not the best outcome, but we will be back my friend. Take a year off up there and live it up. We will be here for you next year as well.

OBTW, when we win it next year, can you ask "The Man" to make it easier for us? Thanks.

Thanks everyone.

I bought a $200 ticket and a $20 ticket for Lions to win the SB on my Dad's birthday 10/01.

I sent the $20 ticket to my uncle (Dad's bro) as an Christmas present

Well this wasn't their year but I think I will place a Lions to win Super bowl bet every year on my Dad's birthday.

Now I have to change my Super bowl pick to anyone but the Packers. Go Giants
