PoppaGator was a very popular figure here at Mudcat for many years. Tom Henehan was born in New Jersey and went to school at Notre Dame, but he made his home in New Orleans for many years and called himself PoppaGator. I'll miss his humor and his wisdom.

Here's Tom's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tomhenehan

Let's see if this link works to Tom's posting record: PoppaGator

Rest in peace, Tom.

I was very sorry to hear that "PoppaGator" had passed away. His posts were always a good read and I enjoyed his sense of humour. He will be a great loss to Mudcat. I have included his name in the "In Memoriam" thread and send my condolences to all his friends and family. RIP Tom

Sad news - I met Tom when I went to New Orleans the year before Katrina hit and he gave great advice where to go/whom to hear.Sadly I never got to him play his favourite MJH-Songs.
I will fondly remember him, his knowledge and humour.
My condolences to his family and friends. Res in Peace, Tom
