FReeper smoothsailing (Rusty) has passed away
September 14, 2016 | jazusamo

Posted on 09/14/2016 1:02:47 PM PDT by jazusamo

Mrs. smoothsailing contacted me today to relate that longtime FReeper smoothsailing passed away yesterday, 9-13-16 of pancreatic cancer.

Smoothsailing will be missed here at FR, he was a staunch conservative, a true patriot and a gentleman.

He was active in the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Pennsylvania. On his homepage he said "I'M A DAMN PROUD VIETNAM VETERAN" and he surely was.

Rest In Peace, my FRiend. One day we'll meet on the other side.

...How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch
Like me.
I once was lost
But now am found
Was blind but
Now I see.

God rest the soul of smoothsailing...

Oh, I am so sorry and sad to read this. I’d had a number of “convos” with smoothsailing over the years. He was a very impressive man. Condolences to his family.

"Prayers up for Smoothsailing, his wife and loved ones."

Amen to that.

Pancreatic cancer has stolen two of my cousins. What a hideous disease.

I pray you smoothsailed directly into the bosom of Our Lord and Savior.

RIP... the race is over...you competed well.
