DarterBlue Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I just read where on Friday of this week, he said his goodbyes to his colleagues and readers as he has inoperable cancer and will probably be gone within the next few weeks. Though I was not a believer in his politics, I respected the man for expressing his views in a clear, understandable manner. He was not one to waffle, and his arguments were clear and understandable. As he prepares to leave this world I wanted to express my gratitude to him for some interesting insights I gleaned with respect to the conservative mindset. Goodbye, sir, you are worth much more than most of the pundits, both right and left, that pollute our airwaves and newspapers. May you rest in peace! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lost a best friend last month to colon-liver cancer. He was 44 with 2 young daughters. We grew up together and joined Army together. He will be getting his 21 gun salute June 26 at San Joaquin National Cemetery. I didn’t agree with a lot of Charles said but like you mentioned. He had a way of getting his point across in a respectful way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is never to be taken for granted. For we never know when the end is near. I hope his young daughters have good memories of their dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the kids were old enough to know they're father before he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re struggling with the loss as expected. Dunno if you ever get over something like this. Just deal with it. Thanks for kind words.

Great idea and a big help in dealing with the loss I'm sure. Hope the mother has the support as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarterBlue Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Charles passed away today, a day shy of two weeks since he made his situation public. RIP! I did not often agree with you, but I will miss your commentary nevertheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, he gave reasons for his beliefs that were well though out. Not like the Hannity's and Ingram's of the world. He came from a different, more serious, more civil period than where we're at today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
