Thank you, my FRiend for honoring Herb with that magnificient graphic.

A big bump for Chief

[steveegg]

Thanks. 'Tis fitting.

Beautiful, Registered.

Like many others, I posted early on regarding his death, but still cannot comprehend that this beloved Freeper is gone from us. I loved his tax threads and once told him how my husband was the one who convinced Billy Tauzin (one of the Fair Tax sponsors) when they were in college together that the concept of a Fair tax was the route to take. He was so amused. :-)

Looks like all of the Chief's hard work in reforming the IRS paid off well for him. He is now where the taxes are fairest of all.

A very nice tribute (at #140) Registered!
Chief N. could so often be found fighting tyranny on the battlefield of Taxes, earning a couple of stars and numerous medals for valor IMO.

Thanks for the address Joe.

I am not a very emotional person, but your tribute to CHIEF negotiator brought a tear to my eye, Registered.

Since I found FR in 2000, the people here have seemed like an extended family.
Your tribute to CHIEF is worth ten of your normally satirical posts to me.

Thank you,
CD.

CHIEF, may God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Thank you...for my friend.

Great work as usual Registered. I'm going to link to that on the Yahoo Texas FReepers forum to honor Chief negotiator.

[christie]

Beautiful. Now I'm crying again.

[dixie sass]

This time, my friend, you have outdone yourself. Darn, crying again.

[mafree]

That's really sweet Registered- thanks for doing it.

[COB1]

May God bless you, Registered, for that beautiful tribute.

[Sandy]

Great work...Thank you.

[Texas Mom]

That is beautiful Registered. Got me crying again. I just wonder if he ever had any idea just how special he was to so many people.

Life is short. We need to let people know how much we care about them when they are here with us because we never know what tomorrow will bring.

I remember my first FReeper get together at Landry's in Kima. I didn't know a soul except on line. I walked in the room and Chief greeted me. I told him I was Texas Mom and he gave me a hug. Then announced to everyone. Hey, this is Texas Mom. From that moment on there wasn't a stranger in the room. I met people that day who became life long friends. As buffyT said that day. "It was like meeting your best friend for the first time." I know Herb used that quote many times and it was true.

I don't know why God took him when we all needed him so much but God's ways are not always our ways and God's timing isn't always our timing either. I was always taught not to question God. But I'm sorry, today I do. I think God understands. I pray for comfort for Mrs. Chief and thankful she is okay. I know she is heartbroken..

Registered. Your tribute is beautiful.

[Mudboy Slim]

Great job, my FRiend...MUD

[SunnyUsa]

That Beautiful tribute to the Chief, (Herb) brought tears to my eyes! You always do wonderful work!

Life is so short and unexpected, I think we all have learned that lesson very hard on Sept 11th, and now with what happened to the Chief, a much beloved poster here....

We all should try to honor him by making every moment count, Love our Country, be tough but take time to find humor when things are tough.

Thank you so much Re3gistered.
