A very nice tribute from NR’s Rich Lowry to his father, who died yesterday. Rich is one of the world’s true good guys. Condolences to him and his family; may his father know God’s love forevermore.

Condolences to the Lowry family. It appears Mr. Lowry was quite a fellow. May he rest in peace.

I hate to see a man lose his father. May he RIP.

OTOH, given his behavior in the Derbyshire incident I am compelled to say that Rich Lowry is a coward. Nor is he a conservative. Sorry I have to disagree that Lowry is *not* one of the good guys.

Look, this is not the time to raise such an issue. Respect the man and his family.

You're entitled to your opinion. Quinn brought up the good guy nonsense, not me. And, Rich Lowry is a coward. He marked himself as such with the Derbyshire incident. That you disagree with the timing is your problem, not mine.

His Dad sounds a lot like my Dad, except mine actually fought in WWII, that's not any disrespect to his dad, he wasn't old enough. RIP

Rich is a very decent fellow, as I have found from personal experience. May his father RIP, and may his family know serenity and acceptance.

I like John Derbyshire very much, and he, too, is a very pleasant fellow that I have some personal experience with. (He helped me select a mathematics curriculum to homeschool my kids.) But I don't think this is the time or place to slam Lowry.
