Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

It is with great sadness that i share the sad news of the passing of our dear friend and long time poster , FiveHole12. I met Steve about 12 years ago and have been good friends ever since. He was a wonderful, giving, thoughtful human being and will be missed. Please pray for our hockey brother. I was with him at the BC at Maine weekend at the end of the regular season and shortly there after i got a phone call from him and he explained what was happening. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and while the surgery was successful , it was the infection he developed afterwards that took him from us. R.I.P my buddy, i will miss you.

WHAT?!?!? OMG. RIP FiveHole12.

Top notch hockey guy; he clearly knew what he was talking about. Which is pretty rare.

Terrible, sad news. Always enjoyed his comments even when we disagreed. RIP.
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

That is terrible news. I don't know what to say, other than RIP, Steve.

And for the rest of us, enjoy every day to the fullest.

I'm stunned by this, Joe. I was up at Alfond years ago for a BC-Maine game and noticed that the guy in front of me was wearing a hat from my HS alma mater in Brockton, It turns out his brother was/is the AD there. That began a great friendship. My wife and I would walk over to his section before every game to see how much popcorn he had spilled! I lost touch when I moved to RI and gave up my BC tickets. Steve was one of the good guys.

he had five (5) season tickets from the Gionta years all the way through so yes, he saw the golden years of BC hockey. He loved the Eagles and didnt go to the school.

i know it, thought of you first when i posted. I didnt know about his brother's position all this time until the recent UMaine weekend. We had a blast and I'm so thankful that i got to spend that weekend with him at a place, HIS place, way up in Maine, his old fishing area. .........................................the popcorn!!!! I also used to give him a hard time every time he bought popcorn, which was almost every game. He was ****ED when they stopped selling clam chowder! Lots of incredible memories topped off with the trip to Tampa in 2012 .
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

For those interested (thank you Nick, he was a HUGE fan of your's!) the wake and funeral information will be posted on Sullivan Funeral Home's website in Hanover MA (Steve Gerrish) tomorrow as i believe the arrangements were made just today. One of his daughter's let me know a couple hours ago. On behalf of Steve, thank you all. I will be sure to tell his girls. Here is just a sample of what Steve was all about:

Cancer sucks!

He was a great poster and through his posts, you could feel his passion for BC hockey. He will be missed.

My condolences to the FH12's family and the BC Hockey family. I always appreciated his insight and what he posted even if we disagreed. May he rest in peace.
