From the Free Lance-Star:

John Cole Goolrick, 70, a native of Fredericksburg, died Sunday, Oct. 23, 2005, at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in Richmond.

He was a graduate of James Monroe High School and a graduate of the University of Richmond. He was a longtime journalist for The Free Lance-Star; a district representative for several U.S. congressmen from Virginia, most recently, Jo Ann Davis; and had served 20 years with the Virginia Army National Guard.

Goolrick also was an occasional contributor to the Bacon’s Rebellion e-zine. We will miss him.
