Bob Janecek of Wahoo, NE, passed away on January 6th on his farm. Details of his death are still not known. He was a very kinowledgable A-C collector, especially on the older tractors. He was a great friend and supporter of all A-C shows in the country. His funeral is on Monday, January 9th, at 10 a.m. at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Wahoo, NE. May the Lord be with him and his family.

Isnt it nice tho, that someone like that can be captured and remembered forever through video and the internet? It (he) will be in cyberspace forever and remembered for who he was and what he loved to do. We should all be so lucky, when you think about it. I didnt know him, but after watching that he seemed like a friend.

Reviewing the posts it is evident that this was one involved person who had an outstanding and relatively well published retirement career.
He will be missed by all.
My sincere best wishes and prayers are with the family and acquaintances.
Good Luck!
