With deepest regrets, ledaholic

[Aircraft800]

Bob Longfellow, (ledaholic) passed away unexpectedly Monday. His Family has contacted me, and I will pass on info as I receive it.

The memorial service will be

Sat Mar. 13, 2pm – 5pm
Florence United Methodist Church
302 East Curry Street
Florence, TX 76527
(254) 793-2535


Bob was always there to help me with anything, flashlight projects, machining, even flipping burgers on the grill. I talked to him on Monday, it was just like any other day, we talked about the DFW GTG and made plans. He said he'd email me when he got home from work.

Bob will be deeply missed by all. My deepest condolences to his family.

While I never knew Bob personally, I know that I have seen and benefited from his posts. My condolences on the loss of a good friend and a fellow CPF'er and the warmest wishes to Bob's family.

I feel like I got kicked in the gut. Sad to see him go. Condolences to the family. He was a good man and he will be missed.:mecry:

To lose any of our CPF friends is difficult. For the friend to have been one of our forum pioneers, is especially difficult. May the spirit of all his friends, and especially his family, find peace.

On CPF's behalf, I've lit a 48 hour candle in his honor.

Oh man, definitely a sad day. Bob was definitely one of the good guys - it hurts to think we lost a good man, even more so when it happens so suddenly. My most sincere condolences to his family.

I"m glad I got to meet him the the last event in Dallas. Based on my brief encounter, he was a very giving person who enjoyed blessing other people.

Really sad, and I feel a heavy weight even though I barely knew him

I'm very sorry for his family as I"m sure he will be missed.

I'll be praying for the peace of his family this week.

X2, may he rest in peace. It's kind of creepy to read the posts that he had made on Monday morning...

Thank you all for the kind words. I am Bob's nephew and he is going to be missed severely. I know he loved this place and the guys and gals that post on here almost as much as he loved his flashlights.

I'll be seeing yall around here from now on when I have flashlight questions (I suffer from the disease of flashlights as well.)

Thanks again guys! We appreciate it and I know he will miss yall as well.
