Unconfirmed, all over Twitter that Kroppy has passed away. Hope it isn't true. RIP if it is. 

I am really hating 2016 more than ever

 

anyway, I don't see anything on the free press or the sun that says so

 

and Russ Hobson just confirmed it

He did. 98 years old. RIP. Jets need to honor this man.  

yeah it's a shame he doesn't have his own number or something it's a shame his unit # can't be in jersey form or something, maybe his season ticket seat should have a small memorial plaque or something, like the Concert hall has itty bitty plaques...no wait I think he deserves better than that,

 

Perhaps what Philly does during the anthem would be good but instead of obviously signing... at the end you show a still photo or video of kroppy saluting

A story in the works...just need to edit the part where the fans call him Poppy.

Sad. But a long life. And seemed like a wonderful person. Glad he was able to make it back to a game last season and get that fantastic welcome.
