Friends of Percy Squint

[Lou]

Percy, continued prayers for you, your family and the medical staff.

Good to hear you're keeping your left arm.

We may need you in the bullpen for the playoffs

[ScottT]

Kick its ass, Percy!

[Jay]

Hang in there and get well soon.

Sorry to bring sad news to you all....

My dear friend, Mike Sword known to us all here as 'Percy Squint' passed away last night after a brief battle with cancer.

Those of you that know him know that he was a HUGE life long Angels fan. He and I started going to Spring Training together back in 1991 and every year since then. He missed last year due to health issues.

 

We have another Angel keeping and eye on us.

 

 

Love you all, be well.

RIP Mike

Dude. That sucks. RIP Percy.

[Ohtaniland]

Percy you and that cool rice paddy hat will be missed. RIP  

[JAHV76]

RIP. There should be a brief moment of silence at the next AW event. I never meet Percy but I did see him at several Angel games. From what I've read he had several friends on this board.

RIP Percy

Very sorry to read this.  RIP, Percy/Mike.  Your hat and contributions are already missed.

Thank you Baseballmom for posting a pic....

(I still struggle with the simple things....LOL)

Such a bummer.  All the best to his friends and family.

 

Percy/Mike wearing his hat is one of the most iconic things we've had at AW.  

[mancini79]

You will be missed Mike! Life seems unfair to be taken so suddenly. I'm glad to have known you and call you my friend. The Angels family has lost a great fan.

[Blarg]

Jim, I am so sorry you have lost such a good and dear friend. I had only scattered moments with Mike in person and through PMs and will miss him as well. Have to stop, for some reason it is raining on my phone and it isn't waterproof.

RIP Percy.  In a way, I'm glad his battle was short.  Cancer skus, and if it's long and drawn out, the suffering could be unbearable.  

 

We should rename Spring Fanfest into I'm here to watch baseball, not watch some POS movie or something like that.  Or maybe even have the logo as a sword through the hat.

RIP Mike.

Even before I posted here on even a semi regular basis, Percy Squint was a known entity to me..  one of the guys I always made it a point to read.    My Condolences to you and Percy's family.  RIP.

One of my favorite parts of Spring Training every year was seeing Percy and his hat.  I really missed seeing him and the hat last year.

 

RIP Mike.

The first time I saw him was at Throwbacks...that picture seems to capture his personality to a T....effing Skanks!

[Kenny]

I haven't been around here long, and haven't met anyone here in person, but he's one the more memorable posters. Quite the character.

RIP

[Lhalo]

It was always easy finding him at ST or in Anaheim. His funny posts and movie reviews will be missed. Rest in peace.

[Kevin]

RIP Percy. You will be missed greatly. Reviews for pos movies will ever be the same.
