Update on Joe Sobran who died yesterday

Joe Sobran died on September 30th close to 3:00 PM, the hour of Divine Mercy. I think it was fitting that this champion of truth who used words so effectively should die on the Feast Day of St. Jerome who translated the Scripture into the common language. Joe had a way of explaining even the most complicated matters in a down-to-earth way that resonated with common sense.

Please pray for the repose of his soul.

Here's what Fran Griffin who published his columns sent out about his final moments. Funeral details appear at the end:

9/30/10
Joe Sobran left this earth today just before 3 p.m. Over this past week, a multitude of prayers were offered for him his recovery. Now that he is on the other side, I am sure that he is aware of your prayers and kindnesses and is most grateful for them. While he didn't have a physical recovery, I believe that the many prayers brought him spiritual healing. There was a great calmness to his demeanor. Over the past few weeks, but particularly the past few days, he was resigned and looking forward to the next life.
