Yes me too and I admittedly have had one serious email spat with him over the flood in 2010
However Phil was instrumental as you recall over state income tax and illegals during Bush amnesty....a policy supported btw by many here in 03-06
Freepers forget that don’t they
Phil organized rallies over illegals in Nashville including a huge one at the Parthenon park.....
Just six weeks ago right before Maggie LaMere at channel 17 helped me too Phil had worked with me via email about the so called homeless camp behind my car wash on Charlotte at forty by Jim and nicks and Walmart and Lowe’s
These meth head and H addict campers who are such a scourge yet supported by the city...Rosenberg....my councilman....worthless ....woke churches.....and media all enable that 1000 strong band of theivess and some killers and rapists even
Anyhow...Phil read my emails online and kept the drum beat up
Tween he and Maggie publicity the cops were allowed and did run off around 2/3 of them....
He wrote me to discuss it more right before he got sicker in the interim...he’d been a deacon at woodmont baptist ...when I lived in green hills before we moved out in the country
I told my rib....then that I’d forgiven Phil for his slight during the flood mess when the city shut us down for two months
We were very worried when we heard he’d gotten sick and then the ventilator ...whew....just such bad news to hear
Man his family loved him so much...I know they are hurting ...
What little contact I had recently with him I was sure grateful for his public help...
Thanks.....I truly love humblegunner. This post was a beautiful tribute to Mr. Valentine.
I got to meet Phil briefly at a troop support rally he held at Centennial park, I believe in 2002. I wasn’t familiar with him at the time but from that day forward I was a regular listener to his show. I’ve missed him the past few weeks and it hurts knowing I’ll never get to hear him again.
Well, not totally. His PodGOATS page is still up and I listened to several of the podcasts last night. He and Campbell had so much fun with those and they’re entertaining to listen to. It was painful last night, though, because I kept thinking about how hard the loss is hitting his family and there’s nothing any of us can do to ease their pain.
