I consider myself fortunate to have met John at various Free Republic events.

He was one of the smartest, and most intelligent gentlemen I ever met.

I came home from work to find this shocking news. I hadn’t a clue he was even sick.

Perusing this thread, just about every FReeper I’ve known or even heard of has replied to it. It goes to show how loved and respected Congressman BillyBob was to us at Free Republic. I liked his posts a lot...he was insightful, accurate, and had a way with words that was his own.

May the Lord Jesus Himself welcome you into Heaven’s glory, sir.

**slow hand salute**

Very sad news.

One of the best Freepers ever, particularly in these difficult times. A solid no nonsense conservative. Something this world is sadly lacking and now is even more so.

Prayers for his family.

Oh my God - I remember seeing his thread on the “end” of his cancer, and being so happy for him, but I didn’t reply directly to him.....

RIP John - your contributions won’t ever be forgotten!

You’re both very welcome.

We lost a good man yesterday. This is awful.

This is saddening. John Armor was a good guy.

RIP John.

FR is a better place for all his great contributions here and for those who read his posts, and at the same time FR is diminished at his passing.

Prayers for the family, may they be comforted and protected by our Lord and Savior during this time of mourning. May He grant them the Peace of Heart that only He can give them.

OMG, I just read his post about his cancer. I even posted on it. I thought he said he was clear of cancer. OMG, what a shock, prayers for his family and friends. I just woke up to see this and thought it couldn’t be. I haven’t read this thread yet, CBB, Rest in Peace. I only knew him on here but what a wonderful person he was. God speed sir. You will be missed.
