Freeper Moonman has passed away

Posted on 12/30/2008 11:48:49 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Hello Jim,

My name is Gail Cook and I am Moonman's wife. Moon passed away on Saturday morning after a long illness with Cancer. He loved this site, he loved being a Freeper. I noticed that he made a comment the day before he died, and it made me cry. Is there a way you can let the members know that Moon is now with the Lord in his new heavenly home? He was 58 years young, married for 32 years, was a loving husband and father to two children a daughter Kelly and his son, Justin. Also two little grandson's. He loved this country, and was an amazing American.

Thanks Jim for considering my request.

Mrs. Moon Cook

For future reference a link is on the very bottom of the home page. Sometimes I wonder how many great Freepers we have missed as they lead the way on the path we all must follow. It could be that we should have a spot reserved for the Unknown Freeper.

Moonman is another that was a particularly disturbing loss. Each of us, and the country, are a little less today with his passing.

I’m so sorry to hear about Moonman, Gail. You and your whole family will be in my prayers.

Us Florida FReepers spent many a FReep with Moonman. He was a fine man and we will greatly miss him.

The last time I saw Moonman was at one of our FReeps protesting Gore/Lieberman down on International Drive. I’m sure I have some of the pictures somewhere that I took that day both outside along I-Drive and inside the restaurant we all went to after the FReep.

I’m pinging some of the other FReepers who were there that day, and others who knew him from other FReeps, too. Some of them may also have pictures of Moonman out there with the rest of us.

There may even be “after-action” threads with pictures that some of us started when we got home. Links to them and some pictures would be great “memorial” additions to this thread if we can find them.

I was afraid it was our Florida Freeper Friend.

I remember Moonman.

God Bless him, and his family.

58 - too young - and a loving family man. May God watch over him and give him comfort - heaven’s got a lot of our young freepers... And love to his wife and family. Moonman will be missed.
