Every PRR show I ever did I prepped with Shronk. He was such a unique and brilliant guy with an intense passion for, and lack of pretentiousness toward all that he was involved with. I have so many fond memories of him, and I am sure you all do as well. Just a few...

His strawberry milk snorting
His cameo on air during the Series
His text-to-speech line about my sister

I've lost a few in my time, and it never gets easier, just harder. Thanks to all those who've weighed in and those who will. You guys were a big part of his life, and made him happy during his all too brief stint with us.

RIP Shronkles. You are a huge loss.

Man became an internet legend. He was always a great moderator and a good person to talk to.
I loved that he actually talked to the chat box during shows.

I'm organizing a very loose online tribute to Shronky for tomorrow. Any of you who knew him, etc....write up a funny story, or a memory about the Shronkfather, and post the link in this forum, or e-mail me the link.

Cross post this to anywhere you think is appropriate.

His mom just told me he really loved what he did. Let's represent for him.

For now, here are a couple videos that Shronk did for us at Pnews, that he absolutely loved. We will miss him.

Wow, thats knocked me right back, only the smallest amount of human contact with Shronk including knocking him out of the one PR league tourney i played (sorry man!) and a few AIMs but the guy was so open, he didnt know me but he did make an impact and is one of the few who followed up on PRR prop bets

I am speechless over reading this news. I've listened to every episode since Seebs' and Gav's first episode together way back when. I remember Shronk's phone interview for the intern job. He was so hilarious it was obvious that he was the pick. And he only got better from there. This is a huge loss for everyone who knew him and/or appreciated the work that he did. My sincerest condolences to all of Shronk's family, friends, and fans.

I was reading the WPT Live Updates when I read that Gavin made the announcement. I'm truly sorry to hear this, it's so sad. RIP Shronk, there is no doubt that you will certainly be missed.
