Doctor Raoul died Saturday of a rare form of cancer. He was 58.
Raoul's family contacted us this morning to see if they could find out more about his activities as an activist.
This is such a shock. His family is looking for photos and stories about him.
He is and always will be a Free Republic icon.
He kind of fell off the face of the earth about 2 or 3 years ago now. All attempts we made to reach him failed.
If you have photos please contact me. Please feel free to post stories and I will make sure the family sees this thread.
Oh, no! That is a shock.
RIP, good Doctor R. Prayers up for his family.
Oh, no! I’m so sorry to hear this. 58 is far too young. I’m glad that you told us. It’s sad when people just stop posting, and we never know what happened to them.
This is very sad, I had wondered from time to time where he had gone. He was a great FReeper activist.
Some threads from back in the day...

Hard to believe he could be gone. I have thought about him often since he disappeared and was so hoping he was happy somewhere. Everyone will be devastated by this.
RIP and my condolences to his family.
Oh no! I was wondering what happened to him.
Didn’t he confront Al Franken once and cause him to lose his cool?
Prayers up for his family. Dear Lord welcome a faithful warrior to his eternal Home.
He will be missed. Doctor Raoul was a constant warrior for Free Republic as well as The Republic.

Will keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers. My best friend and FReeper “Rogle” just died on 9Feb13. He too was just 58 ( my age as well). Way too young!
RIP.
WOW, that is so sad. He was definitely a force here back in the day.
Prayers being offered for now.
I think you are correct. I can’t remember the story though.
So sad.
He’s one of the good guys. One of FR’s finest.
RIP, fellow FReeper.
We’ll see you on the other side.
RIP, I remember the screen name from eons ago...
I’m truly sorry to hear of his passing.
He was also at the events that took place outside the Whitehouse before we moved up on Mass Avenue to the Vice Presidents home.
A good Man. he will be sorely missed.
So sad.
He’s one of the good guys. One of FR’s finest.
RIP, fellow FReeper.
We’ll see you on the other side.
Doc was a staple of the DC Chapter of FreeRepublic.
Back in 1999 and 2000, I had the privilege of standing with him and other DC Chapter members at the White House on Saturdays protesting Bill Clinton.
Doc had a great sense of humor. I hope he can still help protect America from where he is right now, and put in a good word for us.
Damn good man. I’ll miss him.
RIP Dr Raoul. We were of the same mind set and likes. See you on the other side.
