It is with great sadness that we say good bye to Capt. Charles “Bob” Munsey who passed away on 12/8/2023 after months of battling illnesses.
Bob will be remembered as fighter, not just for himself but for the movement. He was proud of his country, serving 29 Years in the US Navy. In September 2023, friends arranged for Bob to receive a Quilt of Valor from a Veteran’s group, and he was so honored to be recognized for his service.
He attended countless FAC Meet-and-Greets where he loved to share stories of encouragement with members. He stood up for his rights, and won several personal challenges. He was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against Brevard County, and gave his settlement award to the FAC General Legal Fund because, as he said “I didn’t do this for myself, I did it for all registered citizens and the families, and we have to keep fighting.”
Bob sent letters to hundreds of a representatives, commissioners, sheriffs, public officials, and anyone that he identified as needing to be educated on the facts. He often had a stack of letters on his table, ready to be mailed.
In addition to his advocacy work, Bob was the author of “GeezerPolitics” a blog that he started in 2015 to provide encouragement to those who have lost confidence in the church. He often carried his binders of articles with him everywhere and was happy to discuss his view of “Politics in the Church.” He wrote “If God’s truth offends, so be it. I feel blessed to have received this motivation.” His last post was on March 30, 2023,
God has taken him in and not forsaken his soul. May he rest in peace.
He will be missed by many.

Godspeed, Captain Munsey! You’ll be sorely missed.
Your work is done here, soldier. Be at peace and go with God so that others may pick up the battles where you left off.
Sailor on Earth, Soldier in God’s army.
I had lunch with the Captain a few times. We were regulars at this Chinese place and he loved the pepper steak there, sometimes having it done up in a little bit different way. We would sometimes eat at local hambubger joint too.
It was during these occasions he helped me look at registration in a completely different light. When I lost my job and told him I was looking for work and stuff, he was also very supportive.
At times life gave him a beat down, but he knew was it was – God was just testing him.
Instead of being sad at his passing, let’s be inspired by this man, remember this difference he made, and carry on his spirit of working for a better tomorrow.
My deepest condolences to his family, he was a good guy and will be missed. Thank you Bob for your service.
RIP Captain.
When someone asked me if I heard the news about Captain Munsey, I said, “What about Bob?” When I learned he’d left, I said “No Way!” I’m still sweating. He’s been my hero since he got the award at the NARSOL conference in Houston. We’ll see you soon, Bob.
