Thank you all so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers over the last several days as my dad was in the hospital. He truly loved this place and I knew when my brother and I were writing the obituary that we had to have Free Republic mentioned. Some men have golf or fishing when they retire; my dad had FR. He was a severe diabetic and couldn't get around too well anymore, so he pretty much stayed at his desk and "Freeped" all day. In fact, that's what he was doing when he had his stroke. So I know he was doing what he loved. And I am so thankful that I'll still have his words - I can come here and read his thousands of posts that he has made over the 12 years he's been on this amazing site. He had some wonderful friends here and I am truly thankful for all of you.

Love, Michelle Proud to be BnBlFlag's daughter (aka Jack Sheffield)

PS I went and pulled the straight R ticket for dad today. He got to vote last Wednesday before his stroke and I know he's trying to find a computer to Freep up in heaven right now to see these great results so far!

God Bless you all.

So young!

Prayers for your family and bless your Dad — I am sure he is sitting with Christ and regaling Him with many a great story. :)

Thank you for sharing this with his FReeper family. As a FReeper and a Texan (stuck elsewhere at the moment!) I can say, your Dad will be missed. But, he’s in a better place. I know how hard it is to lose a parent, but you will see him again.
Hope you stick around.
May God keep your family close in this difficult time.

May God comfort and bless you and your family.

Your father’s obit is a fine tribute to his memory. He obviously was a true patriot.
