VA Freeper Militiaman 7 passed away

[Gopher Broke]

I am sad to report that Freeper Militiaman7 passed away this morning from cancer.

He loved FreeRepublic and was a local leader of FREEPS in the Roanoke, VA area. He had a FreeRepublic Banner he brought to all our Freeps.

He was a disabled veteran who served his country. We will miss his quick sense of humor and his love for America and FreeRepublic.

I have no further information at this time.

Dear Jonathan, I am getting here late. but I do want to extend to you my deepest sympathy in the loss of your dad. There is never a good time to say good bye to parents (especially YOUNG ones.. and he is young ) but during the holidays there is the extra element of grief. Please tell your other family that your dad was well loved & respected here --and I think that you already knew that. God Bless you all during this difficult time.
