Hello! [RIP RandallFlagg]

[Randallflagg]

Hello folks here..


My name is Christopher and I am (was) RandallFlaggs son. I tried days ago to post a quick message about my Father but for some reason it wouldn't take?

My Father passed sometime between July 28th and August 30th of this year. He died attempting to help people who could not help themselves. I can't/won't go into much detail but needless to say, his family (my Mother, Sister and I) are devastated, however we know that he wouldn't have his service be any other way.

It was a private venture into another country and he was to provide logistic support for other men. Unfortunately, as they were achieving their goal of helping folks out, they faced an ambush and may Father and 2 others were killed. I have it on good authority though that he took several with him, though.

Mom talked about how much he loved engaging on this forum. She gave me his logon information and I thought I would post this quick note to inform all of his passing. Sorry, it has taken a while to commemorate Dad, but we were asked to "keep it under wraps" for a time.

Thanks to all of you who wrote to him on his time here.

Goodbye Chief!! You will be remembered forever. RIP Dad.

One of my Dad's best friends, a retired Colonel, who was with them on their trip has contacted my Dad's publisher and asked to do a "final chapter" in his book. They are currently working that out. As soon as it becomes available I will let you all know.

Still, I can not thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for the kind messages that you have all posted. My Father, although "elderly" was never one to shy away from what he considered to be his duty. Mom tried to talk him out of going, but she knew it was a waste of time so, as many times in the past, she kissed him goodbye and told him "See you when you get back". Unfortunately, this was his last ride. Knowing my Father however, he would have wanted it this way.

Now, his ranch is on my shoulders to take care of and I will. Every day when I see the sun coming up, his horse stomping around in the barn, coffee on the stove, I think of him fondly.

God bless you all. Thanks again for your kind responses.

Christopher

Thank you very much for the update. We have wondered about his absence. It is good to know at least a portion of what happened. It is sad to hear and I am sorry for your loss.

I am glad to know he went out doing what he was good at and obviously enjoyed. I know that I will miss his perspective on this forum.

We were afraid of this.

So sorry for your loss, your father was a great man and you should be very proud of him.

[Iowanian]

That's unfortunate news to read.

I always enjoyed my interactions with him and thought he was likely a stand-up guy in his life. It would be easy to be proud of a dad like that. My condolences to your family for their loss.

[Garcia Bronco]

This is sad news, but it sounds like he acquitted himself with honor. Peace be upon him and your family. I am sorry for your loss and I thank him for his service.

[Bwana]

I'm really sorry to hear this. Your Dad was a good man.

[Dayze]

Damn.

[Marcellus]

Damn, until Valhalla brother.

A man who's actions backed up his words.

[Bugeater]

Well **** me...this is just awful news.

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?

We are all grateful to what your father did and will miss him here on CP.
Please take care as a family.
