Sadly, we have received word from his wife that HoosierHawk has died:

Can you please place hoosierhawk on your memorial wall.

Robert V. McNear Born February 17th, 1958 died October 28th 2009. As you know hoosierhawk was famous for his First Sunday Music Post, loved by everyone.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Hoosierhawk

With any luck, he'll draw Beethoven or Mozart as roomies. Hope they have room for a roll-away.

Freepers are too valuable to lose -- especially now.

Prayers up.

[Steve Van Doorn]

I am so sorry
how did he die? He wasn't that old.

[EDINVA]

Prayers of comfort for the McNear family, and for the soul of Robert, may he rest in the loving arms of his Lord and savior.

[BIGLOOK]

If only we could give back the joy you brought us.

[Publius]

With any luck, he'll draw Beethoven or Mozart as roomies.

Beethoven was a lush with minimal social skills. A genius, yes. But not someone I'd want to room with.

Mozart, on the other hand, was a party animal conversant with the arts of the billiard table. I'd love to spend some time drinking and running the table on him. I might learn a few things.

Godspeed Mr. Hoosierhawk....My husband is from Indiana also.

Prayers up for family and friends.

God speeed.

I understand all that but I’d still take Ludwig. He changed everything in the music world at the time.

Perhaps if we’d been as physically abused by a father and handed a mid-life misfortune like deafness, we’d be lushes and sobs too.

And Wolfgang knew his way around a bottle of vino.

Liszt was a load of fun, I hear.

To the family: sincere condolences over a great loss to us all :(

RIP, FRiend.

[Chickensoup]

Well said leni, I loved that thread and looked forward to it. I would play whatever he put up during the Sunday morning reading of FReeRepublic.
God Bless Mrs. HoosierHawk and family.
We will miss him...

One more Hoosier here honoring a fellow conservative.

We will take the state back for him.

May Robert rest in peace, and may his family find peace and consolation.
