 Topic: We've lost another forum member
Posted: 28 Jul 2025 at 5:41pm |
Our long time forum member Bob D. (La) passed away last Wednesday. I know several of us had mentioned recently that he hadn't been heard from in a good while. I had left messages on the only number I had for him, and received no email reply's from messages for quite a while. I had sat down today on the computer and for some reason I googled him and found this. I really enjoyed Bob, we had many a long visit at the shows we crossed paths at. I know he was a very religious man and I have no doubts as to where he's at. I sure hope there's some Orange in heaven for him to tinker with! God Bless ya Bob!

One of the good people I met through this forum. I met him at the Portland GOTO in the early 2000s. We ran the threshers with our tractors and enjoyed each other's company but I hadn't talked to him for probably 10 years

Bob stopped by my shop several years ago headed to of from Portland Indie show. Had a grandson with him. We talked for quite some time. Left with a few parts for his G. Seemed like a great guy! RIP Bob!

Talked to Bob quite a bit at Dale Haymaker's Orange Power of the Past show .Bob was a good man . Been a while since I last saw him . I think he was at Rochester? Indiana gathering. He was definitely at Laporte Indiana in 2014 . Definitely going to miss him.
Thanks for posting Joe
Hos grandsons name was Jamie. He would bring him to Dale's

Thank you for sharing this, Joe. I had the privilege of meeting Bob a number of years back at the GOTO in Tennessee. He was a great man and loved our LORD.

Joe, thanks for letting us know. I had tried several times unsuccessfully, recently to contact him as he had been missed by many on here. Good man. My bride and I had a good time bunch of years back when we by chance shared hotel rooms next to each other in Paris Il, while attending one of Dale's 'open houses' He had a grandson with him at that show.

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Enjoyed reading Bob’s posts. Sad to hear this news, but we can all take comfort knowing his Soul(and all of ours) will return someday to this Earth. I firmly believe our Creator did not grant mankind with all of this, to be a ‘one shot deal’.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
