Don't know how many of youse guys knew Mugsey (aka John from Long Island). He was a frequent visitor to Hedo in April and other times in the Spring, and a good dude. I think me might have also been a November regular. Also an occasional poster here.
Anyway, reports are that he passed away this morning. I don't know exactly how old he was, but I'd say mid fifties.
Edit: a little snooping through Denny's visitor log indicates that he would have been 60 this year.
Tip of the Red Stripe to ya, Mugsey!!

Wow, sorry to hear that. Met him at some of the Hedo parties Hazel used to throw. Jake, if you get any details, please pass them along.

Will do. There is also a thread at DennyP in the NYC/LI forum.

There is also a thread at DennyP in the NYC/LI forum. Thanks for letting me know -- I'll have to check it out when I get home after my movie class tonight. Unfortunately, at the company where I'm working now (NYSE), IT blocks the dennyp site so I can't read the message board there.

Obviously this calls for the establishment of the Golden Mugsey Award

When I die, I want you to establish a Golden Shower Award.

Hey, I've got an idea -- instead of a Golden Mugsey award, let's look up all of his old posts and click the Report to Mod button to see if we can get him up to 100% Warning Level.

This is terrible. John was a great guy -- kind, gentle mannered and he was always fun to talk to. I'm going to miss him. The last time I saw him we were at H2 the same week this past November. I recall him having a particularly good week, we shared some laughs and a few drinks together.
I'm so sorry.

Latest I've heard: NYPD Mike (aka Nued Mike) was his neighbor, and they were great friends. Anyway, word is that Mike found him dead in his bed this morning. No long illness or anything, just passed in his sleep.

What was Mugsey doing in Mike's bed? Never mind, I don't want to know ...

They lived down the hall from each other in an apartment building, and were in each other's apartments all the time. We had many chats with both of them on the Piano Bar patio last month.

I'm very upset over Mugsey's death. He owed me $50.
