R.I.P., Sybarite...

[Senior Sooner]

One of our fellow Sooner Fans has passed...He was often a conversational foe, but Always a Friend...

He had a bad fall, several months ago, and was never able to recover from it enough to be released from the facility, where he had been almost a year...

He was always a source for a VERY Intelligent Conversation, on many subjects...most, over my head, but still very interesting...

He got his Ph.D. at OU and was a Viet Nam era veteran. He lived in Lancaster, Texas. He's survived by a son, of Lancaster, and a daughter, who lives in New York.

R. I. P. Sybarite...Boomer!

This is very sad. I always enjoyed his conversation input and wondered why he hadn't posted much over the past year. He knew his stuff and had some great stories about the past.

Oh man, I hate hearing this. Sybarite was a rock-solid poster. Always level headed, intelligent, insightful and interesting and he seemed like a real down-to-earth guy you'd like to watch a Sooners game with. His contribution to this board has been immeasurable and he'll be missed by all. May God bless and protect his soul. RIP Sybarite.

So sorry to hear this; RIP Sybarite God bless your family during these tough times

On a similar note, some of you may know "wufee". He's been fighting off prostate cancer for 7 years or more and now is in a bigger struggle with a brain tumor. Prayers and good vibes going out to/for Jim

Syb and I were on a couple private boards together over the years. Very sorry to hear about this. Good guy and great Sooner.

Rest in peace Sybarite. Sad to hear this.
