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.

I think your age average is probably about right. A large group of us are probably in our 70s - 80s. I am your age btw.

Oh dear God.

I am heart broken.

I’ve been checking his FR page looking for posts because of inactivity ... I had NO idea he was sick ... with cancer ... no less.

I’m on my knees ... praying ... for his sweetest soul. Rusty was a true American Patriot with such a wonderful sense of humor and a good friend to all. Beloved FRiend.
I need to sign out for a while.

Dear God.

I am stunned.

Rest in Peace in the Arms of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, and
may Father God make a pleasant place for you for eternity.

We'll probably all get to meet up with you again. We aren't
going to live forever, either. You will be sorely missed,
and it will be nice to see you again when the time comes.

I'm pushing 70, so there isn't much time for me and other
old timers around here.

Sending prayers up to Jesus for His Holy Solace in your family,
and let not your hearts be troubled.
