This is IG's daughter Devon.
This story made me laugh amidst the sobbing I'm currently doing reading this thread for the first time.
I went to Mainland and I feel like I remember this story.
My daddy did work as the PR director. He started one day before I was born, in 1993. I went to Stockton and he was still working there. Got to go visit my best friend in between classes whenever I wanted.
Thank you headknocker and I am grateful for this story.
Devon, I just now saw your post for some reason...only four weeks after the fact As you well know your dad's passing left a BIG mark on this bored...he's missed bigtime. God Bless.
Sorry to hear about IG, I remember having some discussions about Notre Dame with him back in the day, but he was always gracious, even to a newb like me.
As someone who has lost both parents to cancer the last 3 years, I feel your pain.
This is IG's Daughter Devon. Thank you so much for the sweet condolences.
This is harder than I ever imagined it would be.
I'm sorry to hear about your parents and I am sending you empathy right now as I know how hard this hits.
I know I mentioned it previously but I unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting him face-to-face like many of you guys. We knew each of us would be at a Mainland high school playoff game(must've been around ten years ago) and I told him I would probably be sitting near the press box and wearing a WVU hat. Well, as luck would have it there was another guy sitting on the other side of the press box wearing a WVU hat. Naturally, IG thought it was me and walked up the bleachers and said to the guy, "headknocker"? He told me the guy looked at him like he had three heads so he just walked down the bleachers to continue watching the game. He didn't tell me what happened until the next day on this bored and I just thought it was hilarious. Wasn't he the PR guy at Stockton State College for a time? I graduated from Stockton in '82 and I think I remember him mentioning it on the bored awhile ago. This loss hits HARD.

I am going to miss you. The value of our friendship is beyond measurable. Id pay anything to have you back for "one more time" I miss you. Love ya Man!
This is IG's daughter Devon. I was already sobbing going through these replies, but seeing your profile picture just absolutely sent me over the edge.
Thank you for loving my daddy. Not sure if I've met you before or if you were at the memorial but I am so grateful for yours and everyone else's tribute on the bored.
May he be remembered for his generous spirit, dry wit, love for his family and friends, skillful pen, sports fandom and so much more.
I'm heartbroken to have lost of my seatmate and friend.
There's a tailgayte in heaven waiting for you with Red Klotz and KG has a giant aramingo with extra mayo.
Love you Tim!
