Dear Union Hockey Forum participants. I know many of you followed the posts of wholin1 over the years (less so in recent months). Sadly, he passed away on Monday night after a courageous battle with cancer. His devotion to Union Hockey and to his college (Class of '72) and the joy he took from both was contagious and inspiring. He will be missed but not forgotten. I know how much he enjoyed engaging with all of you and I think we'll all agree he stayed positive at all times. Godspeed to our loyal Union Hockey friend. A huge loss for us.

Really sad to hear this; I did have the chance to meet him. If SlyFoxMan still lurks, or you happen to see him, would you please pass along my sympathies?

RIP wholin1. My condolences to all who knew him.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

Eternal rest grant unto Wholin1, O Lord. And let the perpetual light shine upon him. And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Did not know him but the ultimate Gentlemen on this thread. Union fans, I am sorry for your loss.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

My condolences also to the memory of wholin1's rational posts.

Condolences to the wholin1 family, and the Union fans that knew him.

I had the pleasure of meeting him back in 2010 during the quarterfinal series (yes, the 5-OT game). A true gentleman here on the forum and in person as well. I've missed his level-headed posts for some time and wondered what had happened.
 
very sorry to ear about wholin1. Always had very insightful interactions on here. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

So sorry to hear the news about Wholin1's death. Prayers and remembrances to his family.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

My condolences to wholin1 and family, as well. I always thought he was one of the most knowledgeable posters here and enjoyed reading his thoughts.

RIP, buddy.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

If someone could post an obituary, I would love to read it. I didn't know him personally, so I wouldn't even know where to begin to look.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

Very sad to hear about Bill (Wholin1) and my best thoughts & condolences to his friends & family. Union Hockey has lost a great friend & supporter, and his contributions both to the program and this board are sorely missed. Is nice to see the other kind words from some of our rival posters, especially the ones from across the River. Makes you realize what is important in life..

Sorry for the loss to the Union community, I am sure he was glad to see Union win it all in '14.
 
Re: Union College: 2015-2016

With Tampa hosting the FF again and two seasons removed from its Lake Placid success and the national championship in Philadelphia, the Union faithful can not help but be a bit wistful this Sunday. Will 2017 witness a resurgent campaign? The competition in the ECAC continues to accelerate. The recruiting wars intensify. The Penn States and Arizona States of the world, with mega budgets, not to mention the usual suspects, would seem to make a reappearance on the big stage more improbable. Who knows? Not many years ago, the odds makers would have laughed at the prospect of Union going the distance. In any event, there is still an afterglow and an indelible pride.
