More sad news. FReeper Gonzo has passed away.

[IronJack]

I had an extensive correspondence with Gonz over music, specifically the Everly Bros. I still have a CD with their version of Green River on it that he generously made for me.

Goodbye, good friend. Here’s hoping you’re halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’, just five miles away from wherever you are.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Another friend has gone to Heaven.

R.I.P. Gonzo, he could be quite a character, sometimes humorous, sometimes serious.

[GeronL]

Actually my memory is pretty bad

Very sad news. Gonzo will be missed.
Rest in Peace Gonzo

[Jet Jaguar]

Rest well Gonzo.

Thank you for your service.

[Shadowstrike]

Prayers for his family, but Gonzo, as much as you’ll be missed buddy, wouldn’t wish you back into this hell.

The Lord needed another warrior, so He called a good one home.

A sad day indeed. RIP Gonzo.

I know that it has been a long time since he was a “regular” here.

He had a unique sense of humor.

I'm truly saddened by this news. Many death notices over the years but this is the first where I had no trouble recalling the name and personality behind it.

Rest In Peace.

I'm so very sorry to hear of his death.

Gonzo drove way out of his way to collect Sara and I, to meet up with a group of fellow Florida Freepers, when my car wouldn't allow us to travel that far otherwise.
He let me buy him breakfast, but would not let me pay for my share of the gas.His excuse was that he hadn't drove us in the “good car”.

He was a living example of the type of polite gentleman I told my daughter still existed, and we talked a lot during the long road trip about his early life and work in Canada/Michigan, his wife and family, his love of music, and his former company and current pets.

Prayers sent to comfort his wife and family.
I didn't know him personally beforehand, but he went well out of his way to help me get to that event.

If anyone has any information on his funeral, I would appreciate a FReepmail.

[ExTxMarine]

RIP Gonzo.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Prayers for Barry Lee and his family.

Gonzo's one of the best.

Rest In Peace Brother.

A veteran from the great Freeper class of '98, a mainstay and part of the nucleus of our active Florida chapter, a participant of countless FR events and dynamic streetcorner freeps for over fifteen years, an all-around fun guy....and when he would take the mike to sing "Georgia on my Mind" at many of our get-togethers he melted our hearts.

Our hearts are melting here in Florida after learning the sad news. Sympathy to his family and friends.

We'll miss you so much, friend, freeper and patriot.

"Just an old sweet song keeps great times on our minds"...

Heavy heart and blurry eyes right now, friend.
