RIP JPHoboken - Big RU Fan and Message Board Participant

[jellyman]

To All,

I wanted to let everyone know the sad news that a huge RU fan, proud Cook Grad (not sure which class, but sometime around 1980, I think), and occasional message board participant under the moniker of JPHoboken, tragically passed away way too young this past Friday after a 3-year battle with cancer.

JP was a great fan - and a long time season ticket holder, and a friend of mine.

RIP and best wishes to his family (brother, wife and 2 young daughters) and friends.

What awful news. He and I lived in adjacent building in Jersey City for awhile. I had no idea he was sick. Far too young. RIP and comforting thoughts go out to his family.

Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. RIP

John was a good guy and big supporter of Scarlet Knights.
I had some personal communication with him as I purchased his basketball season tix for a couple seasons during the Mike Rice era.
Also, I'm pretty sure he purchased Dick Anderson's house, ensuring a quick exit from the area after getting fired.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Extremely saddening to read this.

R.I.P. and thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones.

A familiar name on the boards. Damn. RIP JPHoboken.

To All,

I wanted to let everyone know the sad news that a huge RU fan, proud RU Engineering Grad (not sure which class, but sometime in the early to mid-1980's), and occasional message board participant under the moniker of JPHoboken, tragically passed away way too young this past Friday after a 3-year battle with cancer.

JP was a great fan - and a long time season ticket holder, and a friend of mine.

RIP and best wishes to his family (brother, wife and 2 young daughters) and friends.

Just awful sad news. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

If anyone wants funeral info, I have it (I intend to attend). The funeral is on Thursday morning at 10:30, followed by a Celebration of JP's Life at Noon in a different location (I cannot attend that).

 

[RU Husky]

I just celebrated the birthday of a brother who also died too young of cancer. Condolences to JP's family as they deal with this loss. Terrible news.

 

[Upstream]

So sorry to hear that. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed by the entire Rutgers community.

 

[Beancounter88]

That is just awful. RIP and condolences and best wishes to his family.

Is there anything the mods can do to memorialize JPHoboken on this board for at least a short period, like post his stats on the main board? This board must have meant something to him. Thanks for posting - must have been difficult to do.

RIP JP our prayer are with your family and friends.
