Freeper Cboldt Has Departed This Life in The Faith
Self ^ | 8/28/22 | Self

Posted on 08/28/2022 4:50:14 AM PDT by Fester Chugabrew

My heart is heavy. My older brother fell asleep suddenly in the LORD yesterday morning. We are awaiting word on cause of death. He was found could and unresponsive in his chosen place of rest.

The oldest of four siblings, he left his remaining three siblings in mourning, together with a wife and three children, and two fabulous Aussies whom he cherished.

Nicknamed "Clyde" but known as Cboldt to all y'all, he blazed a trail three years ahead of me, excelling in engineering and law. Later in life we would spend hours talking about everything from theology to science and everything in between. I would ask the questions, and he would wax wise. It was his taste in music that exposed me to a wide variety of styles and artists.

Also later in life he became greatly thankful, often and continually expressing wonder at the creation and life's simple blessings. He expressed some disillusionment with his modest material acquisitions and was in the process of arranging their disbursement to his wife and children. He was active in his local parish, helping services continue remotely in the face of prohibitions due to the pandemic.

As of Friday evening/morning he was visiting his younger brother and mother in NC, having determined to stay there as long as it takes to minister to our mother as she is approaching her final days under hospice care. He told me all about the Scripture Readings, Prayers, Hymns, and good cheer spoken aloud at her bedside, and said he had not smiled so long and so hard in all his life.

I was with him Thursday morning when my family left NC for VA to visit elderly father-in-law. He prayed aloud for us as we were leaving. Among the last things we did together, besides reminisce as far back and forward as we could, was sing "Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness" and the "Te Deum" at Mom's bedside. I'm afraid the minor shift in the Te Deum had us both sounding poorly when it comes to intonation.

I will miss my brother more than words can say. Those of you who have lost dear ones know what it is like. LORD, have mercy!

did he get any vaccines too or just the virus? Let’s hope REAL answers come for you and your family

Clyde was steadfastly opposed to injecting a synthetic substance into his body as a way to stem a synthetic virus. His words to describe overreaches related to the pandemic are “crimes against humanity.”

I believe his exposure to the virus contributed to shortening his life. At the same time, the Creator can override the affairs of men anytime, anywhere, so must patiently watch and pray as His providence and justice prevail in the end.

Let’s call that an “inadvertent misconstrual.”

Oh, no. Cboldt was one of the smartest FReepers ever. I looked up to him, admired his intellect, and enjoyed many conversations with him. He will be missed.

RIP
