Sad News to Share

It is with great sadness, love and loss that we announce the passing of BTB.

Greg, better known as BTB or @BassTrackerBoats around BHW, was a dedicated member of our team, a good friend, proud husband, father and grandfather.

Always there with a quip, story or an anecdote from a long and varied life, he'd constantly undersell himself as 'the Janitor' around here, always putting himself down, but he meant so much to many of us. He was a real force in our community, respected and admired as a colleague and a true friend. Over the more than ten years we worked together, he brought experience, loyalty, warmth, and care that enriched those of us fortunate enough to be included in his circle.

Always here (literally always) with a helping hand around the forum and a suggestion or two for those who raised questions, he considered BHW his second home, sharing his thoughts with the community and team, engaging and funny to the last.

A true Facebook hustler, in there since the early days, he always underplayed when asked for advice. But that advice was all too often on the money and extremely helpful. Dedicated to his beloved football, basketball and baseball teams, combined with a particular penchant for Oysters, he’d always be about the “good people” in his life, pushing others ahead of himself and always wanting to be in and amongst whatever was going on in the forum.

He was a great friend and confidant to all of us. You'll be missed, BTB. Enjoy that big pond in the sky, my friend.

They don't make them like that anymore.
RIP to a legend
 
I am only hearing of this today. The forum will never be the same again.

Life truly is something special and he was one of a kind. It is news like this that makes you reflect on the little things, and that, ideally, even in those moments that aren't quite what we would like for them to be, there's always something positive to look back on. This thread, and the entire forum for that matter, proves just how special he was.

Rest in peace, Bass.
 
FUUUUUUCK dude I see this literally now first time. And I was wondering where he was the other day... Damn man, rest easy, legend, and fish them all! <3
 
We only knew him the way most people here did, from his replies.

We came through the marketplace review earlier this year with him on the staff side of it. He answered plainly, never made anyone feel small for asking, and never once used the position to be difficult. That's rarer than it sounds, and it's the reason a lot of us found our footing here at all.

Condolences to his family and to the team he spent so many years with.

Rest easy, BTB.
