Didn't really know freddie other than his posts, but if he was as good and special as people have indicated, maybe his time here was no longer necessary. He is back home again !!!

Condolences to Freddie's family...and God Speed to the funny man.....he's one in a million!

I've lost many in my family due to cancer....including my father. A portion of this poem by Dylan Thomas, is on his gravestone in Arlingtion National Cemetary. It feels appropriate to share it with Freddie....

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
