A Good Man Concluded His Race

My Brother-in-law, Bob Adis passed Saturday.
We attended his funeral today.
I came across a tribute to him at another blog.

I couldn't say it any better.

I knew Bob since I was 5 years old.
He dated my sister and later married her and stayed with her for 55 years, almost to the day.
He was like a father to me at times.
I lived in his home and ate at his table.

Bob became a born again Christian late in life.
But he made up for lost time, teaching Bible Study, doing outreach to the less fortunate.

When the funeral concluded, he got a standing ovation.

I'm proud to say, I knew Bob.

      You make me think. Bob didn't know how to rest.
      There better be work in heaven! :)
      But thanks, NFO. I appreciate the sentiment.
      It's easier knowing he's in the presence of Jesus.

    Ed: Sorry for your loss. I, too, had a brother in law that was pretty much a brother to me. I knew him when he was dating my older sister when I was 7 yrs old, and grew up knowing him as a brother. I know that I will see him someday, and look forward to our family re-union with God. My prayers for your family.

    Thanks, all. I just got home from visiting with my sister and my nephew was there.
    Everyone is so worried about her that the 5 kid's loss tends to get neglected.
    But she's doing well.
