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.

Lord Jesus, rest the soul of Thy servant Rusty with the saints.

In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Nos priéres à Dieu augmentent pour FReeper Smoothsailing et sa famille.
(Our Prayers to God increase for FReeper Smoothsailing and his family.)

Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, 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 bènie 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!)

I’ve been pinging him off and on for a while wondering. This has hit me like a Ton of bricks. There is a lot I’d like to say but words fail me right now.

Yes, I remember when he used it in many of his posts and thought I had it in my pic files but didn’t.
