I just received an email from Sean Dial, nephew of Bob “Old man” Dial. Bob passed away yesterday, 11/26/05, after having a massive heart attack. I had just talked to his son Bob on 11/23, having missed Bob & wife Mary, who had gone out of town.
Bob was the first of the wonderful folks from this board to welcome me aboard. We shared many emails, phone calls, and finally DID meet face to face a couple times. He was a special guy, who leaves a legacy of kindness & sharing.
Please pray for his family with me at this difficult time.
Bob…The suffering is over, but you will be missed here, my friend.
Mike
My thoughts are with Bob and his family. When I first joined FAOL, Bob noticed that we lived close by and sent me some great advice for starting out in this area. His posts were terrific and he was so supportive of others here. He’ll be missed. Here’s hoping he finds tight lines and sunny afternoon hatches. Thanks, Bob.
Bob,
You will be missed. I pray that the Lord will be with your family. Give them solice and comfort. Save me a seat around your campfire, and I’ll see you on the other side of the river. Believe in the Lord, and we will all be together again.
Life, is the time He gave you to determine where you want to spend eternity.
Bob will surely be missed. I too have enjoyed his input and wit many times. I hoped to meet him in person, but I suppose that will have to wait for a while.
Heart-felt condolences to Bob’s family. It is very sad to hear that we have lost another FAOL supporter. Bob will be missed by his many friends here. 8T
