addictedtoIU Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 This is a very sad day for HSN. Condolences to the family and wish CC rest in peace. Once a Hoosier brother, always a Hoosier brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuhoo Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 So incredibly sad to read that CC has passed. We are all Hoosier fans, and Colonial Crester was one of the great ones. Moreover, as a mod in another corner of Hoosier fandom, I constantly saw the reflection of CC's grace, intelligence, humor, and judgment in the way he posted and moderated this board. As we know, life is precious--love up your family and then love them up some more every day, and be thankful for all of our blessings and lives well-lived. RIP CC.

jv1972iu Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

rico Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Still trying to get my thoughts together. I don't handle death well, hell do any of us? RIP CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn82 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 This has been a tough year for obvious reasons, but what most people don’t realize the full scope is what CC and CCG meant to these forums. Without CC there is no move from Scout in the way we did for the length it was. He was every bit as generous and easy to work with as any mod/owner I have had the pleasure to work with. He truly was one of the good ones. Rest easy my friend, and watch out for Gary on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thank you totbe btownbanner guys sharing condolences. We are tight here at HSN, but CC had many friends over there as well. This sucks for us all, and especially for his familty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Man, RIP. CC definitely set the tone for this board — funny guy who did a great job of keeping things in perspective. Will be thinking of him with every big IUFB and IUBB win this season. Condolences to his real life and HSN family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I joined the last site and you could tell CC's presence and the great tone he set on the forum. It is the reason I joined and began posting there and followed over here. He had such a great sense of humor and seemed full of life. From what has been said...it was way too soon and his presence will most definitely be missed. RIP CC...a sad time for the forum and my condolences to his family and friends.

Lostin76 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Oh man, this is so sad to hear. He was such a positive presence on this forum and I always looked forward to CC’s posts. This place will not be the same w/o him. RIP to a great man and positive thoughts for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really feel for the family. It is hard at any time but we are just gearing up for a bunch of the big family get together holidays. It will be a rough winter for them.

Naturalhoosier Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Oh wow. I can’t believe it. Eric was a good guy. Thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his family. Hoosier Nation as a whole lost a solid dude. Wow wow wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaybobHoosier Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just, wow. I had the pleasure to meet Eric a few times, and he was always full of great energy and loved life. I’m so stunned and upset by this, such a great guy and can’t thank him enough for the HSN boards. This one really hurts, board won’t be the same without him! If any information is found out about the service or help with funds, please let me know! Eric and Natty took me to my first IU football game and tailgate. I will never forget that and how much fun that was. We had a random drunk college chick come up to us and started eating our nachos with us lol. Also took me to Buffa Louie’s for my first time. Eric, miss you brother and I will drink one for you tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Hoosier Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Terrible news. Eric was one of the first people that took me serious and gave me a chance. For that, I am forever grateful. A good, fair and honest guy -- all the things that really matter. And those qualities made this the great board that it is. Condolences to his close friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblaz13 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Not what I expected logging in today since we were all just hanging out in the game thread the other day. Shocked and hurt since . I'd only been made aware of his recent health issues this year. Just thought without actually asking or hearing, that his more recent heavier participation, indicated he was maybe starting to be doing/feeling better. I'll miss him, his take on things and his sense of humor the most!! First time I've cried sad tears over him after so many times spitting the coffee/pop/milk you name it- whatever was in my cup -at his tongue in cheek posts for over 10 years as a member + Hardcore lurker.. I would owe C.C. more overdue laughs and money than anyone I can think of who gave as much, if he were that kind of guy to run it to a tab, but goes to show how great of a person he was in asking nothing of us, but being a respectful part of the board. The stories I've heard of the lengths he went to keep this board free for the public and welcoming to all Hoosier fans or otherwise all the while dealing with so much going on in his daily life. I could go on about his fairness and generosity for another decade, but my heart goes out to his family and loved ones and I'll pray for all. Rest in heaven sir . You will be dearly missed by all of us and I won't ever forget you, Mr Eric! It doesn't do my heart much solace right now , but he deserved to see his Hoosiers , OUR Hoosiers have their moment in the sun. RIP Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblaz13 Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I had to giggle about the Indonesian Hookers text since I know he reigned most of that in as best as any website founder could in the name of keeping it classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
