A Fellow Eagles Fan May Be Facing A Tough Battle Healthwise...

Classy article by Spadaro. The support from the Eagles and their fans for Herb has been tremendous and nearly as moving as Herb himself.

Damn, that is so sad. I always thought that he'd make it. Whenever I saw this thread updated, I'd hope that it would be good news. Wasn't expecting this. Such ashame.

Poor guy... at this point, you just hope he goes out peacefully and without any pain. He's suffered enough.

A post yesterday from Trauma:

QuoteFor what it's worth, he is not suffering. Jess & I just got off the phone and he is comfortable.

Warrior Herb!

I just got off the phone with Herb. His attitude and his strength are unbelievable. He told me to "live a good life" and to value my family above all else... but in the same breath, he said he considers us who have been for him to give him a laugh on the message boards his family. I told him that I am undeserving to be considered as such, but thanked him profusely.

He is going to be around every last second God gives him. He is not going to give up. Amazing.

P.S. Eaglez (if you're around): Herb wanted me to tell you specifically that he felt so bad after the Carolina game that he "got you squared away" and had his mom add your name to his quilt.

Any word on Herb?

BigEd76 · January 17, 2006, 11:43:45 AM

Last I read, the family was overwhelmed with all the calls and wanted a day off yesterday to relax and be together. FWIW, he beat the "5 days" as we expected...

RIP Herb.

Sucks. Farg the groundhog. I know Herb will get the big guy to hook us up with an early spring.

Geowhizzer · February 02, 2006, 08:12:07 AM

Rest in peace.

MadMarchHare · February 02, 2006, 08:15:10 AM

I'm glad that his suffering is over and he and his family can reach peace and closure.
Sucks to see a nice guy die so young.

Your indominable spirit touched so many of us over the years and in the truest sense of the word, you were and remain an Eagles fan of the highest caliber and more importantly a human being of the highest order.

God bless Herbert Lee Osterhout (11/12/73 - 02/02/06) & family.

I'm glad his fight was a symbol of strength for so many people. I'm equally glad that the undoubtedly painful struggle is over. Sounds like he lived it up and was happy while alive. That's all you can ask for.
