Yesterday I heard in passing that Dianny’s server host guy had suddenly passed away. When I’m extremely busy it’s easy to have information register, but not fully. I’ll get a strange feeling about that information, and then having a slow burn about it.
This slow burn took 10 hours.
Late last night it suddenly dawned on me that Dianny’s guy is my guy. I was holding out hope, short of confirmation, that maybe it was a different person altogether.
With a heavy heart I found out they were one in the same. I’ve talked with his widow. He died suddenly on Saturday.
Charles has been with our site for years, overlapping duties with Admin Girl when she was too ill to work.
Charles was the quintessential good guy, always addressing every problem as if it were his own. He will be missed.
Th Lone Star not only refers to his roots, it refers to his love of the Dallas Cowboys.
RIP Charles.
RIP Charles! I never knew him, but I already miss him.
Fidelium Animae, misericordiam Dei, Requiescant in Pace.
It’s a heartbreak. He was really a nice guy.
RIP Charles, the Man behind the Curtain!
Aw, I’m sorry. RIP Charles, and thank you. Your work was very much appreciated by those of us who go into withdrawal when IOTWReport or Patriot Retort go down. <3 🙁
Peace to Dianny’s and IOTW’ers that knew Charles.
RIP Charles. God welcomes you to his loving arms.
RIP, Charles.
Always tough to see a good guy go down…there are too few of them as it is.
Charles was one of a kind. And he was extremely patient with me and my goofy questions and concerns. Such a huge loss.
I am sorry for your loss. Rest In Peace, Charles. Thank you for your work on our favorite websites. May God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort all who love and miss you.
I hope he wrote down all the current passwords for you two.
Rest easy Charles.
God must have needed a Web guy up there. RIP, Charles.
Dianny and Fur, I hope you succeed in finding an adequate replacement. We need you both!
Impossible to replace Charles, unless there is anyone out there that knows abut websites and coding etc..
Because what set Charles apart was that he was a patriot and down with the cause.
Who do you trust out there?
RIP Charles. The IT Guy has become a big part of many people’s lives in recent years. Maybe some of the info below can delay the day of departure by several years for others.
Sudden death can have many causes from criminal to natural. It’s always a heartbreak for family and friends. People in their mid 30s who are in good physical shape, slime at ideal BMI, with blood test showing all is just where the doctors says it should be can suddenly be gone. (Never trust the AHA, USDA, FDA, etc for accurate advice about your health, they see only what they’ve been trained to see. Like blinders on a farm horse)

The above is on Ivor Cummins YouTube channel. I highly recommend you watch some of his other videos discussing the link between diabetes, insulin resistance syndrome / metabolic syndrome and heart disease and other illnesses. Titles such as :
Wanna know how to collapse your heart disease risk? Ok then.
Want to Fix your heart disease? Okay then – here you go!

Oh yes, for many years corinary artery calcium (CAC) scans as an effective way to measure heartbhealth were opposed by Am Heart Assoc, and people like the head of corinary care at Cleveland Clinic as interviewed in Widowmaker video. It took a heart attack by an astronaut to pry off their choke hold of opposition.
Blink – The other day I was bitching about my diabetes-caused high cholesterol. You would think I was eating sticks of butter for lunch and dinner. (I wasn’t) lol
Fair winds and following seas…
God bless his family and widow.
And God rest his soul, he did good work (and for free I’m assuming so it was charitable as well.)
R.I.P ⚘⚘⚘
Thoughts and Prayers.
RIP Charles
