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.

I wish I'd known him. But I will, one of these days. :)
And many like him.
Wow! He left this earth doing God's work. Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss
Good way to go. Thanks.
Thanks, Joe.
Condolences, and may he rest in the peace of knowing the Lord.
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, Bob.
Sounds similar.

Ed, can only echo, so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Ed.
He must have been a fabulous man...I'm so sorry for your loss...for the loss to so many.
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.
