Gloucester City: Nicknames….. Do You Remember?

Note: This article originally appeared in May, 08. I gathered all the posts and placed the names in paragraphs. I plan to submit it to the Gloucester City News for publication. If you have any names to add now is the time to do it. Before submitting read and check to make sure you are not duplicating ones that are already posted.

Hey Bill,

A few years ago you printed an article in the GCN that listed nicknames for Gloucester boys over the years. Gloucester City by far is the only place I have been to where so many people\’s nicknames are used instead of their given ones. I’ll try to list as many as I can in this forum because I have seen so many posts with different names and it reminded me of that article.

Could you perhaps fill in the blanks on your page somewhere?

Here are some names that come to mind: Bill \”Ozark\” Underwood, Tom \”Choo Choo\” Murphy, \”Jungle\” Murphy, Owen \”Dinkie\” Brennan, Geo \”Pinkie\” Cleary, Bill \”The Buck\” Graves, Gary \”WooWoo\” Gross, Bob \”Dece\” Decierno, Dan \”Obie\” Obrien, Paul \”Nipper\” Nazar, Tom \”Tut\” Kilcourse.

Joe \”Lizzard\” DiFelice, Joe \”The Jet\” Stiles, Woodrow \”Woody\” Dooley, Bill \”The Jolly Green Giant\” Gross, Bill \”Wibby\” Yeager, \”Corkie\” McNutt, Bill \”The Worm\” Seddon, Charles \”Ziggy\” Zearfoss, Bill \”The Pen\” Cleary, Tower Commander, 8th Ball Willie, Wayne Weasel Riddel, Chalie The Clip Huber, Ken Chuckie Taggart, Bill Jolly Green Giant Gross.
