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.

Yeah, she was a real sweetie. Concerned with the serious, unconcerned with the trivial. We've met some real good ones over the years.

Hard to believe we lose 2 in a day, Gonzo and JeanS

How sad to lose these two legendary FReepers. Our heartfelt prayers go out to the families and friends of Gonzo and JeanS.

So sad. I join in prayer for the families and friends who are mourning the passing of these 2 freepers.

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

Hey Gene!

That was down in south Florida near you !

I remember we FReeped his office in Boca Raton on Military Trail.

Yes, I remember you telling everyone you had to stop and place the "Jail to the Chief" flyers on Wexler"s office doors!

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

I remember it like it was yesterday!

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!

And don't forget the numerous trips to Miami/Dade and Tallahassee!!!

Jean was no surprise to me, I’m amazed she lasted this long.

I didn’t know Gonzo was on such a short string though.

Rest in Peace our FRiend, Gonzo. You will be missed.

God rest your soul, and comfort your loved ones and friends in your passing. May He sweeten all the more the reunion when we are all brought back together at Jesus feet.

Such a sad time for Free Republic. I am so very sorry for the recent losses of some great FReepers. They will, all, be missed.

Gonzo was one of a kind!

Some glad morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, oh glory
I’ll fly away
When I die
Hallelujah, bye and bye
I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To that land where joy shall never end
I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away, oh glory
I’ll fly away
When I die
Hallelujah, bye and bye
I’ll fly away

Oh
I’ll fly away, oh glory
I’ll fly away, in the morning
When I die
Hallelujah, bye and bye
I’ll fly away

"Didn’t he have an Avanti?"

Yes, a red convertable. He took my picture sitting in the drivers' seat at one of our FReeps down in Tampa. I took his picture in it as he arrived at one of our FReeps of Algore in Boca Raton.
