RIP SicEm

[yermom]

It appears he died suddenly today in Waco.

Way too young.

Was always odd how we ended up agreeing on as much as we did.

[olevetonahill]

RIP Froston

[Eielson]

Dammit. I was hoping this was some kinda Baylor joke. I'm gonna miss that guy.

[Turd_Ferguson]

RIP, Froston.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Is this for real?

[yermom]

his mom posted it on facebook last night

[Boomer.....]

OMG, that's so sad. RIP

[dwarthog]

Sad to hear.

May he R.I.P.

[Sooner_Bob]

[Soonerjeepman]

[hawaii 5-0]

Gonna miss him. Didn't always agree with his position but he gained much respect for holding to his views.

RIP

RIP...Still hard to believe it's true. Shocked! If it's a morbid joke, somebody please come clean with the truth.

Upper respiratory infection complicated by Type 1 Beetus Best guess by his Momma
They doing an Autopsy will know for sure

[okie52]

Wow. I'm stunned. I thought this was a joke, too.

He was pretty young, too. RIP Sic 'em!!!

If someone could provide a link to his obit, etc...I'd appreciate it.

Isn't Type 1 the childhood disorder; not the lifestyle related disorder?

[Serenity Now]

RIP young man. We had some mutual friends. As you all know, he was an intellectual's intellectual.

[Serenity Now]

Isn't Type 1 the childhood disorder; not the lifestyle related disorder? Accurate. And, Type 1 diabetics can be very frail or "brittle" as their blood sugar is much more volatile than Type 2.

[Curly Bill]

Wow, what shocking and tragic news. I just dropped by for a second and saw this. Never met him in person, but it almost seemed like I knew him well since he held strong views and was somewhat a fixture. God Bless...

[BoulderSooner79]

i'll miss his posts as they were almost always thought provoking.

For those that believe in reincarnation, he was clearly a returning confederate solder's soul. He'll be back - RIP until then.

Sorry...this made me laugh..because..yes he was southern proud for sure...def a sure thing.

[SoonerProphet]

Great paleoconservative mind. RIP my good sir.

[TUSooner]

As I said elsewhere:
I am also shocked and sad. Though I typically found his politics infuriating and delusional (like I probably find most of yours!), I always knew he was a good guy (like you probably are, too). Some time ago we talked about meeting for a drink if he came to New Orleans. (Assuming he could find the place -- his wrong way trip story was epic stuff.) I guess I'll have to have one for him now.
Requiescat in pace, Sic 'Em.

[Ton Loc]

Never met him, but I'm going to miss him around here. Didn't always agree with him but he wrote from the heart and never wavered from his position. Good dude and way too ****ing soon.

[TAFBSooner]

I enjoyed arguing with him as much as finding out where our viewpoints coincided. He seemed to be a very intelligent guy. Agreed, he left us way too soon.

RIP.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

I was just gob smacked when I read this. I find it hard to believe. RIP SicEm, prayers to your family.

[Blue]

Very sad. RIP.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Surprised to see this in the politics forum

[yermom]

Seemed appropriate.

[okie52]

Surprised to see this in the politics forum

I would've never seen it if it had been posted in another forum.

[Beef]

Sad to hear this. Seemed like a good kid.

Several of us have thought the same thing. But Ive been assured by some one whos word is above reproach that it is in fact true

[Sooner in Tampa]

Good Lord...this is stunning!! RIP young man...gone too soon. May God Bless your family in these trying times!

[jkjsooner]

I haven't come here in a while. I came to see what SicEm had to say about Rand Paul dropping out of the race. I thought for sure this thread was about that, and it took reading 3 or 4 posts before I realized this wasn't a play on words.

Crazy. RIP.

"Holy Sonnet X"
Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and souls deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better than thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more, Death, thou shalt die.

-------------John Donne

I know Froston was a Deist and I think God knew his heart.

[champions77]

Haven't been on in awhile. Wow, that is sad, sad news. Life is fragile indeed. Seen way to many people that I thought were relatively healthy and then they're gone. Many thoughts and prayers to his family. Had a lot respect for him.

Thanks for the Link
I was almost as old when he was born as he was when he died!

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Thanks for the link. I did not know he was a WWII history buff, I wish I knew that. I would have liked to have talked to him about that as my father landed on Omaha Beach (Dog sector?, I think...) in his LST.

"... love for politics became his carrier as a political consultant ..."
"... preceded in death by his material grandfather ..."

Who writes these things? I guess they do them on cell phones now?

Sicem would be furious

Dude might be the only person you will ever know in your lifetime named Froston.

I noticed that as well.

And Baylor facility instead of faculty.

One of the great regrets of my life is not learning more from my dad about his time in the Navy in WWII. I've since learned that reticence about those experiences is common among those who served.

Much respect to your father for his service.

[SCOUT]

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a good man and someone that I respected. Peace be with you SicEm

Much respect to your father for his service. Thanks much! He would never speak of his time there or in the Pacific theater. He would speak of his duties (he was a Yeoman and the ship's Paymaster, his battle station was a twin 50-cal.), they had tanks and trucks they off loaded on the first landing and after that they ferried supplies to France and German prisoners and wounded back to the UK. Pretty much sums up what he told us. All of his friends that I got to know were the same way, never spoke about it, something they had to do.
