We received word this morning that FReeper T'wit, Timothy Wheeler, has died. His son said that he passed away quickly, apparently, with not much distress.
T'wit was one of our earliest members and was a tireless worker for Life and Liberty. He was a good man and will be greatly missed.
Prayers for his family and loved ones.
Godspeed, dear friend.
May T’wit, Tim, rest in peace;
and his family find peace.
Our prayers are with him and his family.
Rest in Peace
Please post your replies to Jim Robinson; T'wit

I know. I remember discussing conservative icon Frank Meyer years ago here on FR. He met Meyer as a younger man.
What are we going to do without him here? So sad..

Tim was a great guy. Please join me in a prayer for him, and for his family.
I may say to those of you also who have been bereaved—if you believe in providence you may grieve; but your grief must not be excessive. I remember at a funeral of a friend hearing a pretty parable which I have told before, and will tell again. There was much weeping on account of the loss of a loved one, and the minister put it thus. He said, “Suppose you are a gardener employed by another; it is not your garden, but you are called upon to tend it, and you have your wages paid you. You have taken great care with a certain number of roses; you have trained them up, and there they are, blooming in their beauty. You pride yourself upon them. You come one morning into the garden, and you find that the best rose has been taken away. You are angry: you go to your fellow-servants, and charge them with having taken the rose. They will declare that they had nothing at all to do with it; and one says, “I saw the master walking here this morning; I think he took it.” Is the gardener angry then? No, at once he says, “I am happy that my rose should have been so fair as to attract the attention of the master. It is his own: he hath taken it; let him do what seemeth him good.”
It is even so with your friends. They wither not by chance; the grave is not filled by accident; men die according to God’s will. Your child is gone, but the Master took it; your husband is gone, your wife is buried,—the Master took them; thank him that he let you have the pleasure of caring for them and tending them while they were here, and thank him that as he gave, he himself has taken away. If others had done it, you would have had cause to be angry; but the Lord has done it. Can you, then, murmur? Will you not say—
“Thee at all times will I bless;
Having thee I all possess;
How can I bereaved be,
Since I cannot part with thee.”
