DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Eotab...

I just now read on Facebook that our friend, Andrew (aka Eotab) passed away peacefully on February 14 th. He will be sorely missed....

Man that is terrible news. He fought the good fight for a very long time. He will remain one of the foundational members of Dawg Talkers. My heart and condolences go out to his family. RIP Eotab.

This is awful to hear. RIP Eotab. Prayers.

RIP Eotab.

My heart is breaking over this news. RIP

Very sad. RIP Eotab.

Very sorry to read this. I’ve been reading his decidedly pro-Browns thoughts for many years, a great fan of our team. I don’t know specifics but he put up a heck of a fight for a long time.

RIP, Eotab. You won’t be forgotten on these boards.

God give you rest, my friend. I pray for peace and comfort for your family and friends.

RIP Eo.

He was the greatest of Browns fans. That's what I saw. RIP.

Sorry to hear that. Eo was the first person to actually reply and talk to me when I first joined the board, many years ago, now nearly 25 or so years.

I talked to him on PMs maybe last June...I gave him my phone number, but he never called.


It just hurts.


RIP Andy. Thanks for being a friend.

That made me get the warm and fuzzies. Beauty post.

More warm and fuzzies.

Wow!!! I've had more than a few private conversations over the years with him. Football questions.

Seemed like a great guy.

Rest in Peace Mr. Eotab

Yep. That one got me. That's what we all saw, Jfan.


And this...



R.I.P. buddy. You were special because you always saw the upside. Every draft, every new season, brought out the childlike optimism. It will be missed.

I'm sorry we lost you before the Lombardi. When that special day comes, we'll be looking up because we know you'll be smiling down. Rest easy, my friend.


Someone in the know -- please let his family know how much he meant to us all.

One of the OG.
Rest in peace Eotab. You’ll be missed.
Sorry the team couldn’t get you that high of hoisting the Lombardi.
Every year is a championship year in heaven. Enjoy.

Taken care of. I posted our condolences on his Facebook page...

One if the few people here I have pm ed with . Not often but a few times. So sad always looked forward to his what I saw posts. Always seemed to have level headed views on the browns. Will miss him.

RIP Brother your pain is now over. You fought long and hard and I will miss our talks my friend.

Only knowing Eotab from this site it saddens me. Prayers to his family. I will miss his "What I saw". Does anyone know the source of the name "Eotab"? I have always wondered but it never occurred to me to ask until now.

RIP, Eo. Thanks for your concern for us. Peace and be at rest. Prayers for you, comfort and strength to your family.

His company was named Eo Trading Co.

Such sad news. He had a long battle. I had hoped for the Browns to go all the way before he left this earth.

Thanks for sharing your Goldschlager with me at the games, Tab.

RIP Andy.

Thanks. I tried it backwards and even tried to figure out if it was an acronym.

So very sorry to hear this.
One of the first people I started following on this site.

Sometimes, I thought his recaps of the games were better than the write ups in the paper.

Eo, you will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Eo. He was fun to chat with.

RIP Eo.

This is terrible news

RIP, eo

RIP EOTAB. You fought like hell to see a Browns Super Bowl and you damn sure deserved to see one. I used to love your posts when we came here from the old board. You, toad, and a several other OG Dawgtalkers made this place a great Browns football forum. You will be missed.

RIP Eotab

Putting these words as though Eotab was writing

What I saw

I saw good respectful and tough Cleveland Browns football in the 70's 80's and 90's

I saw the team (my Team) leave and move elsewhere.

I saw my team return and in the following years

I saw more disappointment heartbreak and losses then I had ever hoped to have seen.

I saw some hope in the last few years and excitement started to happen


These are my words to our friend Eotab

I saw a great Browns fan whose heart was very big for the team he loved

I saw posts from your heart

I saw posts that generally were of the positive side of reflection keeping faith for better results

I saw your feelings and how you expressed them

I saw our friend begin a battle

I saw us support you and wish you the best with hopes of a healthy recovery

I saw a team this past season almost give you that dream you always dreamed

Now I see your loss has many of us with sad hearts, leaving us with many good memories of you.

From my heart ,the hearts of many, and from the hearts of the team you loved so much

Rest in peace my friend, never forgotten

Billy

Well said, my friend.

We'll have to toast one to Tab at a game next season. It's been a minute, and we aren't getting any younger. 👊

Yes we will !

I joined the board back in the day when it was on the Browns home page, then followed it to here where Purp gave us this gift

I have met and made very good friends from this board

Not only enjoying tailgating, sitting together at the stadium

Meeting on a personal side, at a bar to watch a game, invited to a home to enjoy time without watching a game.

I have been blessed to have met so many great people from this board

True friends, people I really enjoyed loving meeting.

I still think about the ones who don't post here anymore or show up tailgating, always wondering how life is treating them.

People come and go in our lives, the people from this board and I mean many many many that I have met in person.

They have all been incredibly great people who have left an impression on me that I will never forget them.

25 years of making friends from a Browns board, something special about that.

I guess that's why I'm not surprised they are still in my memory and a part of a chapter of my life I love dearly !

As far as all of you who stay in touch, Thank you !

Thank you Billy, for putting those beautiful thoughts to print. Wonderfully said.....

That’s true, Billy. While the board has been good in bringing us all together, those of us who have actually met each other and spent time together made the bond stronger, especially in the early days. During the Dawg Talk days, there was a large group of us who got together regularly. That really bonded the board. We could argue and fight like crazy on the board, but we found out we really liked each other in person. I think there were only a couple people out of that large group back then, that I didn’t care to spend time with face to face.

A lot of the newer people here don’t understand the history of this board. Things were really special back in the day, even though the Browns sucked royally, which Tab would never admit! Haha. I’m happy I was around for all of those moments. I’m still happy to be a part of the board, even though I’m not around much.

Glad we got to meet you, Billy!

Thank you, Eotab.

So many of us have met and befriended because of Your personal relationships with all of us.
You will be missed as deeply as you were embraced in this community. You are truly one of us, always.

Stepping into the back yard, to pour one out for a True DT OG,

clem.

Sad news. I knew he was very sick. A true and loyal Browns fan. RIP EO. My sincere condolences to your family.

Man that sucks, I can't remember this board without EO. I know he struggled with health for quite awhile and was always open about it. Seemed like a good guy and was about a good a fan any team could have had rooting for it. Board just got a little quieter. RIP
