Good job, J.R.
What? Look back?

You bet! See you on the wall.
God bless all of you who attended Doctor Raoul’s funeral.
RIP Raoul, and Godspeed.
Thanks for a very fitting farewell.
:-)
You are too kind. The Doctor and you made us do our best. The Doc is my mentor.
What a wonderful tribute to Doctor Raoul. Thank you for sharing it with all of those who couldn’t be there.
RIP Doc.
LOL on post 1 1/2.
He was a wonderful man and it is good to know that many of our FReeper friends are awaiting us in Heaven. God Bless his family and thank you, JV.. for sharing his final services with us.
1-1/2 sounds just like something Raoul would say. Thanks for the smiles and tears.
Thank you JVB, for sharing this Farewell to Doctor Raoul with the rest of us.
And “Thank You” to all the FReepers who were able to attend Raoul’s funeral and represent us so well. I know Raoul was there in spirit — I can almost see him standing at the back in the group photo.
Rest in peace, Doctor Raoul, and prayers and condolences for his family and friends.
FReep On!
Indeed.
Great farewell. And great 1/2 post!
DITTOS! He never gave up fighting for what’s right, and neither should we!
Courage! It’s always darkest before the dawn.
He knew Truth always wins in the end regardless of how outnumbered we APPEAR to be on the surface.
RIP dear Dr. Raoul. You were always on the side of Right, and we will continue to carry that torch for freedom and justice. It will never be easy, but, like you, we aren’t quitters...we refuse to join the long list of ignominious victims of hopelessness. Victory is assured....THAT, we know!
Rest in peace, dear patriot. Godspeed.
Sorry for my faulty memory, but was Dr. Raoul involved in the “Blood Trail” thread?
Beautiful video. OTOH, both R.C. and non-R.C. parishes struggle with music issues -- Latin vs. vernacular, traditional vs. modern, or Catholic vs. schismatic origins. A friend recently had to struggle with the music director of an R.C. church to have a Latin hymn included at his own wedding! I've heard my share of kumbayah guitar at R.C. churches; and the protestants/evangelicals are often assaulted by "praise" performances more suitable for American Idol than the altar platform.
My view of many doctrinal struggles is that now we see through a glass darkly as the Holy Spirit seeks to extinguish sin in us. I try, in spite of failures, to keep the Commandments and scripture in the forefront.
I do not believe so. I do not recall his participation on that one subject.
The one thing I would like a photo of is Doc with a Nixon Mask on and me with a Kerry Mask on during the Swifty Freep. You could never refuse a piece of political theater from Doc, he knew how it worked.
