Just got this message through PM from his account...super sad. Me n milkman had been chatting about football for 20+ years and I had the highest of opinions of him.
RIP Brother. Have a beer with Sac and Flopnuts and say hi for us.
Hello BossChief and fellow Chief fans
I guess you could say my name is MsRedeyes
But my name is Jeannie, I fell in love with just one look with MyJohnny in 1988. We had 32 fantastic years together enjoying our world by being with each other unfortunately year 33 was our last.
Sharing our lives had been almost always just the way we wanted, always so happy especially when we got to watch our Chiefs. I lost John Feb 22 when he lost his fight with Lung then Brain Stage 4 Cancer. I took care of him until the end. We were both so sure he would beat this and he was doing great until the doctors decided to speed up the winning he was having by changing his therapy to the strongest they had. At this point he had lost 40 lbs was down to 110 and weaker than he should of ever been when choosing such an aggressive choice of trying to kill a killer with another killer, my guy was gone in 2 weeks. I tuned into the game tonight and it has been wonderful to see them but it is so not the same without my Johnny. You guys were very important to him and I know he'll be at all the games. Looks like Clyde-? is going to be fun to watch! so we'll see you there or here.
Thanks for being here to share his happiest times with his Chiefs. He liked saying he was an "insert bad word" but he really was a Super Man and great super Fan. I hope I can stop in to say hi and get to feel the love again for this great team, and I know redeyes will be here.too. Jeannie redeyes [Reply]
I will miss reading his posts about offensive line play, and him chastising the stupidity of the regimes during the dark times.
My favorite Milkman memory was his absolute excoriation of Laz. I don't remember the specific inciting incident, but of all the posts I've read over the years, it's the only one I ever read back to my wife. I literally laughed so hard I was in tears.
I never had much of a connection with milkman but he was a great contributor for this forum. When we disagreed over Brandon Albert, for example, he was ultimately proven correct.
I'm sorry we've lost him. He was an abrasive poster by choice, maybe he needed to purge it out of himself to be such a lovely man to the OP in "real life."
He was an excellent football chatster. I'm glad to hear he was surrounded by loved ones in his final days. [Reply]
