Sorry to hear of his pain and passing.  One does not really know what to say in these situations.

I came across this thread by accident and it really hit home.
You are an incredible friend and both were lucky to have known each other.
He will be in our prayers...

So you have pain now; but I will see you again,
and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take
your joy from you.
John 16.22

I regret to say that Bob passed away on June 07. His passing was a a blessing, as he was suffering unimaginable pain. The cancer had spread from his lungs to his rib cage, skull, spine, liver.

   49 know well were you are and how you feel, had a really good friend who so wanted to go to the Biker Reunion and do the freedom Ride, but she never did and I had promised her that this year we would do it, but she passed away in the early fall, so her sister gave me her favorite medallion, and it is now on the Drifter and she is going on all my rides with me this summer.

Fred, so very very sorry to hear the bad news.   It's hard watching a friend get sick, but even harder watching him not get better.  I will keep Bob and his family, and you as well in my prayers.

Well, folks, I started this thread last year, in the hopes that Bob would get well enough to make the ride. Sadly, every checkup he had after a round of chemo was worse than the last; today, he asked his daughter, whom he was staying with and being cared for, to move him to a hospice. His days are very numbered; the longed for ride now out of reach. That being said,our goal shall still be realized; we will "ride" together when it is all over. I will request permission from his daughter, Angela, to take his ashes on my Drifter, to Barkerville, and back. We WILL make the ride together; I promised him we would go, and go we will.

I ask those of you who do, please pray for him, that his last days are peaceful, and that he comes to know our Lord before he passes. He has never been interested, so I have always respected his decision on this; (but not agreed with it). Pray for his family, as well; they too need spiritual comfort.

And I want to thank all of you here for the support you all showed last year when this "Odyssey" began. It means more than you know.

Best regards,
49

49, I hope if I get sick like that, I would have a friend like you around to help me out.  God bless you, and I'll keep Bob in my prayers, and you.

Thanks, GB
