Bob Neal - RIP
Hi Everyone...
(please see updated note below on Bob's passing) I'm hearing through the grapevine that Bob Neal has been injured very badly. This is on the heals of his recent motorcycle wreck (last year?). Anyway, I've called Les Robertson (message machine) and have offered support to help Bob out. I'm waiting on a callback from him for more details. Bob is a really great guy. He lives close to me and has been over to visit our offices several times. I love him a lot and am really worried for him. Neil Ostroff (http://www.truenorthknives.com) has volunteered to help keep things going for Bob's business, but I'm sure Les has everything under control. Anyway, Bob has a lot of friends in this world... not the least of which are his friends at KNet! If anyone has any more details, please post them here. I'm close, so I can help!

Bob Neal - Passed Away - Tonight at 8:30pm
It was reported to me by a very saddened Les Robertson that Bob Neal has passed away this evening at 8:30pm
I was praying that he would get better and pull through this trauma. For those of you who knew Bob, we lost a good buddy and a great friend! Godspeed, Bob! Alex __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |
