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

"how did he die? He wasn't that old."

Go to the Freerepublic home page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the Memorial Wall. Scroll through all the Freepers we have lost at fairly young age. A lot of them who were born in the 50's.

It has taken me years to accept the fact that FreeRepublic members are not immortal!

Rest In Peace Hoosier Hawk, You followed the right path....

Prayers Up for Hoosierhawk and family!

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Lord, we thank You for the time he spent here with us.
We knew he was Yours when he got here
He was Yours while he was here
And he is Yours now and forever.
Amen
