Funny thing is I heard them talking about this on the radio the other day because he has been in the hospital for quite some time, apparently. Anyway, it seems he had been excommunicated from his own church for a long time. They didn't say why on the spot but for whatever reason it made it sound as if the church wanted nothing to do with him. It also said he had a son that was also not having anything to do with any of them (Ol freddie boy or the nut job church) They asked the son about the possibility of people protesting his fathers funeral and he said "he wished they wouldn't"
