In this new age of Social Media, one of the great things is you get to make long distance friendships with truly nice people.  One of them was JD Kinman who I have mentioned here a couple of times for the books he wrote like Above Reproach and False Gods. His love of Family and Country were undoubted and the sheer pride he had for his daughters was clear for all to see.

His wife Lois posted an hour ago on Facebook that JD had a heart attack and died this morning. I am so sorry for her and his family and all the people that loved him and shared times, good and bad, with him.

Ands I am sad that I was not able to meet him and shake his hand.

Que Dios lo tenga en su Gloria.
