Hi everyone, this is Bob's son, Robbe.

As some of you know, my dad was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma in early February. He had been having some memory issues over the past month or two, but none of us expected him to have the most aggressive brain cancer known to doctors.

As many of you know, my dad is a deeply devout Christian; truly, I don't know that I've ever met anyone as dedicated to Christ and serving others as my dad has been throughout his life. Since the cancer was so far along, he opted to leave everything in God's hands and forgo treatment that would've only given him a few extra months at best. While this meant less time at the hospital, it also meant he'd have less time left on this earth.

As it stands, the cancer has significantly progressed in the three months since his diagnosis. He can no longer walk and has difficulty forming phrases of more than one or two words. We don't know how much time he has left, but it's likely not long.

So many of you reading this have been touched by my dad in some way. He loved sharing the word of God with others, from his days in pastoral ministry and street ministry and prison outreach to the last several years where he loved sharing his faith to a Facebook audience. Especially his Facebook audience– he loved you all very much and felt like it was the church he always wanted to started. Even until the day when he could no longer talk, he was still going live on Facebook and sharing what was on his heart.

Despite spending most of his life in some sort of ministry, he's never asked for a dime from his audience or congregants. He's always done things with the knowledge that his reward would be in heaven, faithful in sowing seeds that would come to harvest beyond this life.

When I brought up doing a fundraiser at some point, he said he couldn't ask for money. He can't, but we will, on his behalf.

Since my dad opted out of treatment, the hospital bills are less than a full-on treatment regimen; however, there are still some bills related to his emergency care for which my mom and dad need help. We are also asking for support for my mom, who is currently taking care of him for 22 hours a day when hospice isn't there. She's simply not able to work in her normal capacity and could use a little help between now and the time he goes to be with the Lord. When that time does come, she will also need some help covering funeral arrangements.

Again, my dad never asked for anything, and honestly, we never have either. But if you find it in your heart to donate just a little bit, I know it will go a long way in helping my dad and mom, the most selfless people I've ever known.

Thank you so much and please leave a note so we can read it to him, since he can still understand some things we say to him, for now anyway.

Thank you for your prayers and we pray that God will bless you with his always abundant love.

(We'll also provide updates on here as to his health and progression.)

Much love: Robbe (son), Cathy (wife), Christy (daughter), Sherri (daughter), & Jeremy (son)
