Yes, he was the standard for a Texas Freeper
A standard yet to be met.
Once he and I on Veterans Day went to the Veterans Hospital, Houston because he wanted to thank some Vets in person on their day. No parades for him, just the real deal.
Many here don't know that his original name on FR was COB1. Stood for Crusty Old Bastard and he certainly could be one. No better friend and didn't seem to have any enemies.
