More sad news. FReeper Gonzo has passed away.

Posted on 05/06/2014 5:05:44 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Just received a call from one of his friends in Florida. Gonzo (Barry Lee) has passed away, He was a long term member of FR and was proud to be with us at the March for Justice in 1998. He was a veteran and a patriot and has always been a loyal friend and will be greatly missed.

Prayers for his family and loved ones.

God bless.

Thanks for calling me this a.m. with the heads-up alert... words fail me... but prayers prolific.

I believe that pic [#98] was taken at Disney's Lake Buena Vista... I showed up late, so my mug is missing... :-( But my heart is always with my FReeper co-conspirators. Let us pray that the replacements are prepared to pick up the standard and fight on. {sigh}

Oh, I am so sorry to read this and send prayers for his wife. He had a great sense of humor and I remember, years ago, when some of us first discovered a new car - the Chevy-789 - and he fell in love with it. Kept the picture on his Profile page.

God rest your soul Gonzo.

More sad news, I did not know about abigail2!!
Many years ago she asked me to help her “make” a Profile page. I set up the HTML for her favorite poem and sent her the two ‘Norbert’ images.

It always brought a smile to my face because she never got the two images centered and told me it didn’t matter and she was happy as it was.

Bless your soul abigail2.

I don’t recall but think he shows a couple of his cars on his profile page. Can’t remember if he had a blog or what but remember seeing more car pictures that he had posted.

Dave, isn’t this the Anti-Clinton place outside Daytona?

A sad day. Bary was a one of a kind.

Sometime, at one of our Freeps in 1998, he said he would support me to run against Robert Wexler, who was running unopposed.

He actually, on the spot, wrote out a check for $20,000, asking me to run. I remember telling him that I am not a politician and that this would be a waste of his money!

He said: “There is more where this comes from and it is not a waste of money!”. With that look that he could give.

Anyhow, Wexler ran unopposed. I remember we FReeped his office in Boca Raton on Military Trail.

Do you remember the prayer circle we had at Bary/Mata Hara’s house the night of Bush’s contested election.

I swear that won it that night right there! Of course, it took God 36 days to recognize what the Florida Freepers did that night at his house!
