    Default Email exchange w/ Bob Denman

    A few days ago someone was wondering about our friend, Bob Denman. I found an email address for him so I wrote to find out how things were going. As most of you know, Bob sold his 10th Anniversary Edition RT last year because of deteriorating eyesight. The good news is he recently passed the vision test to renew his driver's license! Bob says his health is actually not too bad.

    Now for some sad news. Bob's wife, Kathy, whom he generally referred to as Missus, and the ruler of his life, is in a fight for life. She is suffering from Stage 4 colon cancer which has spread to her lungs, stomach, and lymphatic system. The odds are against her. His focus is, of course, on her now. He requests all our thoughts and prayers for her. The sign above and behind her describes his thoughts about her! We need to remember him in our prayers also.

    Because he is no longer riding a Spyder, and because he needs to devote his attention toward Kathy, coupled with some private issues, Bob is no longer a member Spyderlovers.com.

    Yeah this sucks. Bob was one that kept me on this site. Even though we disagree on a number of things, I have a great deal of respect for the man. One thing that was always clear was how much he loved, respected, cherished his relationship with Kathy. Please pass along my heartfelt wishes that they enjoy, as much as they can, this time together. All of the best to both of them.
