May you rest in peace,my dear Redstone...  
 Last night I got a phone call from a dear close friend of Redstone...

He died in his sleep last Tuesday night.

What a man he was! Funny, wicked funny, and smart, compassionate, intelligent beyond belief...and so much more.

His loss will be felt forever by his wife, and his sons, and by us.

Who among us did not relish his stories, his calm way of seeing events? I always felt so happy to see him posting, for I knew that there would be good things to absorb and ponder in his threads...

I don't know exactly how old he was, but I don't believe he was even 60...too soon, always too soon...

Our phone calls were not frequent, but they were memorable. I was honored to hear him laugh...

My heart overflows with tears...

Rest in peace, my dear Redstone...the world is diminished with your passing...

If this is indeed not a bouncy from the CalPig primitive, all I really have to say is; R.I.P Redstone. Thoughts, and prayers to your friends, and family.

I'll not dance on his grave, but he was such a dead-ender and so full of mindless rage and stupidity that I can't say it's any loss to the world of the living.

RIP Redstone and my sympathy for his friends and family who are grieving.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

My sentiments exactly.

Rest in peace, but really, his Hate and rage and anger didn't do a whole lot of good in this world.

It actually came as quite a shock to me to see a thread on the passing of the bird smacking, red faced primitive. Would have never expected it on a pleasant Football Sunday.

Life is chalk full of surprises.

"Football Saturday" was yesterday, sir.

Anyway.

I'm sad because Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, never got around to answering a particular question of mine.  I always thought it was a very important question, and one that Redstone should contemplate upon, when examining himself and his conduct.

As many here know, Redstone was, the last several years of his life, afflicted with some sort of neuro-muscular degenerative condition, which greatly inhibited his physical skills and I'm sure more than that, emotionally and intellectually vexed and frustrated him.

Not to mention he drank like a fish.

It was all very sad, but excresence happens to all men.

Redstone however seemed fixated with this idea that Hate, rage, and anger would help him deal with that.

For years, I repeatedly kept asking how that works, but never got an answer.

And now alas we'll never know.

Dunno what he would have said, but I've had the same feelings a portion of my life, and my answer would be: It doesn't, but it's still there.

Not sure what he would have said, and as you said...we'll never know.

Of course it's still there, in both you and I, sir; after all, we're human.

But Redstone seemed the type who actually believed he had everything all figured out, and so I was always intensely curious; how does Hate, rage, anger, and a foul explosive temper help one deal with a handicap?

I never found such a pissy negative resentful attitude about it to help me, but perhaps Redstone knew; maybe I was doing something wrong, and he could've illuminated us.

Well, if he had everything all figured out, he should have illuminated his fellow DUmors, and in turn, illuminated us.

I fear something is wrong here... ;)

I suspect in the end, Redstone figured it out that he didn't have a damned thing figured out.

And therein lies the tragedy of Redstone.

One reasonably assumes the Mercy and Compassion of God has made Redstone whole now, but damn, I would've appreciated an answer in this time and place.

Exactly what I meant, Frank. He's square with the house now though, so I hope whatever transgressions were with him weren't too bad to not be forgiven. Y'know. we observe the primitives from afar, but I don't think a single one of us wishes them ill when news like this breaks. I can't say the same if the situations were reversed.

Right; this is very sad news, and one feels for Redstone's survivors.

Quote

But of course that presupposes that what the primitives, or what decent and civilized people, think about one is important or relevant.

franksolich doesn't lose half a second's worth of sleep worrying about what the primitives are going to say about him when his own time comes.  Or for that matter whatever anybody else says.  The primitives can feel free to dance on my grave, for all I care.

Death is a pretty Separating thing, taking us away from this time and place to the Eternal one.

Once one leaves this time and place, what God thinks about one is the only thing that matters.

You know, though, sir, something concerns me very much.

You might recall the vast outpouring of grief and sorrow among the primitives, upon the passing of Khephra and the late red round one; lots and lots of campfires burning brightly and long for days, about them.

The passing of Redstone's excited lots of primitive comments, but not when compared with those two.

And the truth is, Redstone was a better personage, a stronger (in a perverse way) personage, a brighter and more creative personage, than both the squigy fat boys put together and multiplied ten times.

Ya know its sad to say, but I agree with you. DUmmies lie so often that it's hard to know when they speak the truth.

That said, my sympathies go out to those who grieve in his passing.

It's very sad.

Already, the campfires commemorating Redstone are dying out.

It's nothing like the flames that blazed for days and days, for the two fat boys.

Alas! poor Redstone! alas!

Already being forgotten a few hours later!

RIP Redstone, and condolences to his family.

I hope in the end he was able to cast off the hate and anger that filled him. May God have mercy on his soul.
