This is posted with a very heavy heart. RIP Volbrigade/oU

He passed away this past Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

May he rest in peace and take his rightful place in the Lords kingdom.

Please keep his family and friends in your prayers as they go through this difficult time.


Thank you
President Harry S. Truman said: “The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount.  The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings…  If we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.

Thanks for posting this, Dan. 

I assume you got word via his stepson, like I did a short while ago.  

I may have more to say about oU in the coming days, but not yet.  

A giant among men. I’ll miss you friend.

What???

I am so sorry.  JG's right, he was a giant among men.  He will be missed by many, but he is in the Lord's Kingdom now. 

Godspeed Volbrigade.

That just felt like being struck with a baseball bat sized and shaped 100w cattle prod.  

RIP, sir.  I truly enjoyed both our public banter and our private discussions. 

..... dang.

Undoubtedly one of the most if not the most intelligent contributors to this website.   Certainly the best wordsmith, he could turn a phrase.   I too did not know he was ill.   He gave no indication.   But we may rest assured that if there is a heaven and that there is a post earthly death life, he is living it.  He now knows that his faith was not in vain.  

God rest you, dear friend.

Well, I hate that Volbrigade/oU didn't get to see the Vols beat Bama, and Trump win the presidential election, one more time.

May the good Lord bless and keep his loved ones. He was a wonderful wordsmith, and a very insightful, remarkable commentator on life. I will truly miss his insight. He cared, a lot. And it showed.
