Doctor Raoul died Saturday of a rare form of cancer. He was 58.
Raoul's family contacted us this morning to see if they could find out more about his activities as an activist.
This is such a shock. His family is looking for photos and stories about him.
He is and always will be a Free Republic icon.
He kind of fell off the face of the earth about 2 or 3 years ago now. All attempts we made to reach him failed.
If you have photos please contact me. Please feel free to post stories and I will make sure the family sees this thread.
Doc was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool.
RIP Doctor Raoul.
Prayers up. He was one of the good guys.
Wow! This is quite a shock to me also. Gonna miss ya Doc. Another great Freeper and patriot leaving us WAY too soon.
So sorry to hear about Dr. Raoul. I will keep his family in my prayers. My memory could be wrong but I believe it was Dr. Raoul who responded to me when I inquired about a bus which was leaving from Philadelphia for the Gathering of Eagles down in D.C. I got up at 4 in the morning so I could leave early only to discover that my husband had gotten up early to check my car. It sat out in the driveway all night blocking the garage door—we only have a one-car garage. He told me it was totally encased in ice and there was no possible way we could get it thawed out in time for me to drive down to Philly! My heart was broken. I e-mailed Dr. Raoul to explain why I hadn’t shown up. If only we’d left it out in the street I could have taken my husband’s car. I fretted over that the entire day, knowing I was missing an awesome gathering.
Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
This is a real shock.
I have quite a few photos of him.
Tell me how to get them to you.
RIP Raoul. ‘Pod.
God bless him and his family.They will be in my prayers.I met Doc at a Freep in Philly at a Hillary book signing.I went with my daughter and there were a few Freepers from the area there plus a radio personality who interviewed Doc later.There lots of cameramen and I was interviewed.Never saw the witch she went in the back way.Doc was nice-he gave us signs and he had a loud speaker.People were laughing as they walked by and making dirty Clinton jokes.Forgot my camera.Talked to him in freepmail and he gave me good advise and it rolled just the way he said.We became friends and then he left.I thought it was to stay hidden and didn’t question it.I do remember Hillary saying a devil was following her all across the U.S.Doc and I laughed about that.It was him.
A FReeper extraordinaire. Prayers for Jesus’ comfort and love for his family.
That was Bob Kerrey.
Alert!!! Confrontation Between Bob Kerrey and Public!!! (FReepers Kristinn and Doctor Raoul)
RIP to a classic freeper, he has been missed on FR. Prayers for his family.
I just had an old friend pass on...of pancreatic cancer...he was 58 too.
Sucks!!
I included that video as part of the Inaugural Ball video I did in 2004 for FR.
It was great.
Awful news! He was one of a kind. Prayers to his family and friends for comfort.
I had the privilege of meeting Doctor Raoul with the DC Chapter once upon a time. Busy but fun weekend. I still have my DC Chapter pin.
I remember him fondly and well. God be with his family...as he is with God.
Should be able to find pictures of him on Walter Reed and Olney threads.
RIP, thanks for the pretzels.
RIP Doctor Raoul.
Thanx Doc, we'll meet again.
