Say a prayer...

[tcudoc]

I have lost a friend, but was more than just a friend. A number of years ago, John knew I was having financial difficulties. I had a set of Ben Hogan 40th Anniversary commemorative irons. He paid me $1,500 for them, and I knew they weren't worth near that much. About 5 years later, he wanted to meet for lunch. After we had eaten, we walked back to his truck, he reached in and handed me the box of irons. He said these mean a lot more to you than me, I want you to have them back. This was what kind of guy he was. I wish I could see his reunion with his dad.

He will be missed, no, he is already missed.

Great story. Thanks for sharing. This one hits hard, even though I have never met him in person. It just feels like all of us know each other. Sad day for the TCU family.

This. Very sad day. RIP Froglaw.

Prayers for John’s loved ones. A deeply committed Frog.

I know he’s on the right side of the next life, if for no other reason than he correctly and courageously lived the Eleventh Commandment: beans don’t belong in chili.

Rest easy, John.

Very sad news. I never met him but always liked seeing what he had to say.

RIP Froglaw.

I met him briefly once when I picked up some tickets I had bought from him. Was a very friendly guy.

Sounds just like him.

Wow, RIP John Charles! One of the really good guys and huge Frog fan and supporter.

So,so sad. Never had the honor of meeting John, but his post here were always enjoyable. Prayers for his family and friends…

Wow. That is very sad news. For those of us who did not know him as well, if someone could post a link to his obituary (when available), I'd certainly love to read more about his life.

RIP Froglaw.

Meet him for the first time at State Of Frogdom 8/23. He graciously invited me to his tailgate.
I was honored to have known him if even for so brief a time.

RIP John.

So sorry to read this! Prayers for his family!

I never met him in person, but I remember while I was a student at TCU a decade ago him posting on here that if any of us ever were too drunk to drive home from a game we could come to his truck and he'd make sure we were safe. Seemed like an awesome dude. Hope to party with him in the next place. Prayers.

Life is so fragile. Rest In Peace Froglaw.

Had he been sick? Seems like he had a post about attending Stanford game just a few weeks ago. Another one gone from when I first posted here in 2001. I’m sure Scott, Wes, Shooter, Whitewolf, his dad, others, will save him a seat for Sat!

Good Frog. Bought road game tickets from him a few times. He will be missed.
