The LORD knows many freepers prayed for him. It is with tears that I hear about his death.
I’m sad too. His early demise has been known for a long time, so I held out hope that he would ultimately repent. I see no evidence of it — But we don’t know his final thoughts! The Lord is gracious!!!
I hated much of he stood for, and disagreed with much of what he believed in (although he was a strict anti-totalitarian), but I had to respect his consistency. He was no hypocrite. That alone makes him a better man (God forbid) than the field of candidates we have to vote for this time around.
