Johnny loved his many friends at Free Republic. That is where I met him and our brains clicked together. Please, no comments whether that was good or bad. :o) I know so many of you followed his posts and you loved him, too. Marcella

God rest his soul, and prayers for his loved ones. Johnny will be greatly missed.

Hugs to you Marcella. RIP Johnny. My friend. My brother. I love you and love never dies. Hope to meet you someday on the other side. He had been praying for my hubby a lot these past months as he is going through chemo. Something to add to your euology - I think he posted on every prayer request thread. That’s where I saw him the most. Next were the gardening and cooking threads. As we’ll be remembering him for many years, he will be remembering us too. Gone but never forgotten.

Loved reading his comments. Thank you for letting us know. Only the good die young! There is going to be a FR gathering in heaven one of these days.

Anyone thought about doing a special donation to FR in his honor? Prayers up for his family.

[Domestic Church]

Prayers going up! RIP Johnny.

[SunLakesJeff]

Prayers lifted. Always funny.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Thank you for telling us. I will miss Johnny badly, and hope I can live my life even a small fraction as well.

[Kaosinla]

A truly authentic Freeper.

Rest in Peace

Sorry to hear this but thanks for posting. Heaven’s Chapter of FR gained another great member. We’ll meet up there at some point.

[Envisioning]

Damn. Breaks my heart to hear this. RIP sir. I had no idea you were so young. You were wise beyond your years....

[JimSEA]

Free Republic is better for having known him. RIP

[Califreak]

So sorry to hear this. I was really hoping he’d pull through.

RIP Johnny. You posted many valuable ideas to this forum, and will be sorely missed.

[kiryandil]

Rest in peace, JR - you were one of the Good Guys. :)

[Alas Babylon!]

God bless ya John! I hope to see you up there, too, someday!

Aim High, Bro!

RIP Johnny. Always enjoyed your posts.

In keeping with tradition, I hereby raise a glass of Double Black in your name.

And thank you Marcella for the back story.

[visualops]

Oh no! So sorry for your loss. Prayers

I remember him from many threads
So so sad every time we lose a FRiend

[sockmonkey]

He was definitely unique, and multitalented. I will miss his recipes, gardening tips, and sense of humor.
May Perpetual Light Shine upon you, JRandomFreeper. You will be missed.

[Blueflag]

In God’s arms now.

What a great loss

[RitaOK]

Ahh, Marcella. A mighty one has been felled and it aches in the chest. I am so sorry. 54 years old. Gasp. It is hard to release him. What a guy. He will be in my prayers, as ever, Marcella. May God be pleased to receive our JRandomFreeper (Johnny).

Sorry, honey, for you too. You’re the best. Bless his beloved family in this deep loss.
