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

Prayers up for Smoothsailing, his wife and loved ones.

We’re losing too many FReepers lately.

I didn't know him but just having checked some of his recent posts it looks like he had a great sense of humor!

I have been curious about the ages of the people on FR. I get the impression that, on average, we are in our late fifties or early sixties. That bodes badly for the future. I have met some decent young conservatives but not as many as gimmedat’s. That may be because I am in a college and capital city.

BTW, I am 62.

I lost my father 3 years ago to that miserable cancer. He lasted 4 months from diagnosis to the end.

Prayers for Rusty’s family, at least his suffering is over.

There will be a joyous gathering one of these days in Heaven though. Such “remember when” times we will share.
