Sad News to Share

This is such a sad news. He was such a sweet guy. Why do good people leave early?
 
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, it sounds like he was loved and had friends. That's a good life.
 
Here is a wee ode to the legend himself, mate.

Oh Guvnor of the boards, our brilliant BTB,A dead-on mate to all, as genuine as can be. He called himself the Janitor, sweeping up the floor, But to the BHW family, he meant a whole lot more.

A proper Facebook hustler since the very early days, Guiding us with wisdom through the internet's maze. If a scammer tried it on, Greg would sort them right out, Chasing away the eejits without a single doubt.

He loved his sports, the football, and the wee basketball game, And when it came to oysters, the man had zero shame. Never one to boast, always bringing the good craic, A massive heart of gold, always having your back.

So raise a glass, my mates, to the grandest of the grand, The absolute best bloke in all the digital land. Enjoy that big pond in the sky, you absolute star, Rest easy now, guvnor, you were the greatest by far.
