Our Dear Backhoe, lost his wife, Miss. Emily suddenly early Monday morning.
The Source URL will take you to the thread he posted on FRee Dominion (Our sister site in Canada), and this link takes you to his announcement here on FR.

Most of you know that Backhoe maintains the thread "DUBOB 11- more tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast...", and since his post was made there, very few have seen it.
Our good FRiend could really use our support, so please post all replies to Backhoe.
He is busy with funeral arrangements, so may not post much, or at all, but he will read it, and appreciate the love and support.
Thank you, fanfan.
My condolences to all.
"Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me.
Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done."
~Anne Bronte
I agree that it is worth its own thread. I just did a search of his name to see if anyone else had posted this news and didn’t see anything, but thought I might have missed it in my search. I didn’t want to risk starting a duplicate thread, so I added it here.
RIP, Backhoe.
Sweet backhoe.
God hold him dear.
I'm certain of that.
Backhoe has passed — see #454
Yes, but at least he HAD his Miss Emily. I've gone my entire life and never found her. He is lucky.
Backhoe, hey bro, hope you are enjoying heaven!
Rest in Peace Heavy Equipment Guy.
RIP Backhoe.
I’m so sorry
I don’t know if I could survive that
I pray I go first
Dang
Ah man, that is sad news.
You were one of the best, backhoe.
RIP
Thank you.
Backhoe was a wonderful man. I have a pang in my heart. He and I had some good discussions.
May God protect his soul now and forever.

RIP dear backhoe.
Thank you, conniew.
Prayers up.
Backhoe was a true gentleman. What few times our paths crossed, he always had a kind or friendly or funny word. Now he is whole and reunited with his sweetheart!
Just damn!
He was a good man. Thoughtful and kind.. and a legend here at FreeRepublic... I’m sad to hear of his death.
I’m so sorry. Prayers for his family and loved ones.

At the request of members, I am restarting those "Tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast"-- the stories and issues that the press and media either ignore, won't even talk about, or will mention once and forevermore claim "it's old news..."
