Today news came that Thomas Richard Connally, better known here as Renrich died after battling cancer for almost a year.
Richard was known to be a keen student of history, being interested in many historical subjects. His knowledge about many subjects will be recognised by many. He also was a man with strong opinions. But he was always willing to argue about it.
Richard joined the forum in 2007 and was imediately a spirited contributer to the infamous "political forum". He also contributed a lot to many discussions about historical events, where he displayed his knowledge, especially about American history. I think most members will remember his love of the Corsair.
Richard became ill last year and he knew prospects were not good. He really loved being on the forum, especially after his health started failing him. After a while the frequency of his visits here became less as he had to use his remaining strength for the things that were really important. Richard died last Friday, Januari 18th peacefully in a hospice facility.
Richard and I developed a friendship at the political forum, being a good example that opposite political views does not stand in the way of respect and friendship. Last April he informed me about his illness. Our contact intensified for a while, but became less and less the last few months. He even apologized for that in his last email which was around Christmas.
Have peace my friend.
