RIP Sneakypete. I hate to hear when a Freeper passes, even though you left you are still one of us in my mid.

I read your troubles with flesh eating bacteria, for anyone who would read that it was a very well written out post of that awful disease and time for Sneakypete and I’m glad he got through it.

Hoping your now enjoying a much better time.

Thanks for posting his history. Is that just a part of it?

I don’t remember him specifically, but after reading his posts, wish FR and US had more like him.

RIP.

He was before my time, but reading his posts, he sounds like a brilliant and good man.
He knew the Iraq War was a fools errand.
He knew Bush was a tool for DS.
Our best were killed or maimed - for what?
R.I.P.
