Oh no. I loved that guy. Great and funny posts.

Always enjoyed Blueblood's posts. Sad news indeed.

Sorry to learn.

Oh no, so sorry to hear this. Thanks for letting the Cal community know. What a uniquely Cal soul..........

R.I.P. Blueblood

I kinda wondered what happened to him, hadn't seen him in quite awhile. RIP Cyberbear.

The poster that taught me about "getting oinked" (a phrase that I regularly deploy). A true original that will be dearly missed. So sorry to his loved ones. RIP, BlueBlood.

I'm sorry and very surprised to hear this. He will be missed around here. You have my condolences and please pass them on to Blueblood's friends and family.

Given the date you posted I'm pretty sure I knew of him beyond this board.
Rest in peace. If it's who I think; truly one of the last of his breed much like my grandfather.
A true example of that generation of blues. Dedication to Cal, Service to Country, and an almost fanatical obsession with music, and an unapologetic vocal opposition to the maga disease that infected our country even as they lived in the reddest of areas.
Rest in peace.

I'm very sorry to hear that. He was a good man that went to the beat of a different drummer. He was unique and one of the posters I really dug here. He was in the The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) ("Screaming Eagles") an air assault infantry division of the United States Army that specializes in air assault operations. He served in Vietnam. Thank you for your service and Rest in Peace, Blueblood.

Oh no, sad news indeed. He was one of the larger-than-life posters here when I first discovered "CyberBears", around the turn of the century. He really made me laugh. Condolences to his family and "real life" friends.

"Sanfurd sucks... BIG TIME!"

RIP Blueblood. I remember him back from when I first started lurking these boards in the Cyberbears days, and always enjoyed reading his posts. He was one of a kind.

RIP Blueblood. My condolences to family and friends.

~ rest in power Blue, great loyal Cal Berkeley Golden Bear

This is a tough one. He used to drive me crazy sometimes but he was always a loyal and proud defender of our Bears. RIP BB

It is interesting that you posted that Martin Sheen YouTube from Apocalypse Now. I believe, for many years, Blueblood's avatar was the photo below but with a blue tint to it. When BI changed hands, he did not transition his avatar to the present site.

Unwavering Cal fan and most colorful poster on this board and its predecessors.

RIP Blueblood.

RIP Blueblood


GO BEARS!!!

I assume you are a relative and sorry for your loss. Would you mind posting his obituary here? I would love to know more about him and always enjoyed (well not always) his quirky posts.

Adios…bub

Blueblood will find another cyberbears at his next destination.

Wow! Very sorry to hear this news. Loved his snarky comments and predictions, and a lot of the time he wasn't far off. RIP big fella! You definitely wore it well!

Years ago when my Dad found out that I was posting on a Cal online forum, the first thing he said was "Is blueblood on the site?" Keep in mind my Dad is a Stanford grad who probably has never posted on an Internet forum.

It turns out that my Dad worked with blueblood back in the 90s and heard about some of his hijinks on the early Cal online communities. I get the sense that some (or a lot) of blueblood's online persona came from his in-person personality, and it worked in person. My Dad liked him a lot, and periodically I would forward my Dad some of blueblood's contemporary posts. Bearister's mention of blueblood's military service aligns with what my Dad told me. My Dad also mentioned that blueblood was a descendant of Chief Joseph.

The internet feels a bit empty for me now. I can only imagine how it must feel for his friends and family. My sincere condolences to everyone who benefited from knowing blueblood.

As an elder bear getting near the end of the road, i sort of hope there is a heaven and that bb was greeted by st oski at the sather gates, music provided by the straw hat band

Oh man, one of the OG's from back in the day. I remember how he used to give the furdies the business especially that one guy Stanford Observer (I'm probably forgetting the correct name) or whomever it was that used to come around with his back handed compliments and fake interest in Cal sports. Blue would light him up sometimes.

My condolences to the family and friends, and to Blueblood in Golden Bear Heaven, Roll on you Bears!

Yes, those were my memories as well. I think he used to take on Cajun Lurker as well

I always thought he was a student or young alumni.

He was a cool dude. Cool is ageless.

We will miss him.

Rest in peace you unique and sturdy Golden Bear!

He had unique taste in images to append to posts and opinions. Probably deserves a "best of" retrospective.

Condolences to family and friends and thank you from those of us who only knew him through this board to let us know of his passing. Go Bears!
