Lancey was one of the best. We met over a disagreement regarding the word “soldier” and how broadly it could be applied. We eventually agreed to disagree and drop it. Like you, I would take military questions to him automatically.

Justice, ethics, the state of the nation...he was on top of it and a very capable thinker and writer. He was a great read on Free Republic. He’ll be missed.

I proudly state as fact he enriched my life.

Lancey Howard was a man whose opinions one instinctively respected. He was articulate, reasonable, but forthright. I never heard him comment on an issue that I can recall in which I found myself in disagreement.

Prayers to his family.
