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.
bttt for ya, backhoe
We lost them both? Prayers ... Double Prayers.
Backhoe lost Miss Emily a few years ago. We just lost him last week. I posted it on this thread because it seemed appropriate at the time, but it is a bit confusing for people just coming in.
I will miss you FRiend. Rest in Peace.
Thank You ConnieW for the clarification ... Prayers for all Family and Friends of Miss Emily and Backhoe.
I feel your pain. I wish I could say I have no idea what you are going through.
“He was one-of-a-kind. I don’t think he ever really bounced back after losing his Miss Emily. :-(”
He completely changed after her death.
It’s a common thing. Men generally don’t outlive their wives for very long.
Now he and his wife are together in Paradise.
Hey glock. Thank you for the howdy. I’m doing okay. Hope you’re well!
Very sad circumstances. I didn’t realize it was backhoe who also passed away...he was a treasure.
Much sadness here and prayers up for family and friends, which is, after all, us. The light of his life left him and now he has rejoined her. God is good.
Miss you man!!
Prayer warrior ping. See post 454 for the sad news that Backhoe has passed into the arm of the Lord and is ... At home, finally, with his Miss Emily and Miss Helen. What a reunion that had to have been. God Bless them all and give comfort to those who are left behind to mourn their passing.
May he and his beloved rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.
BUT just imagine the astonishing joy of getting to meet all these great people who have made Freerepublic so great, in that future forum of God’s making! We’ll be seeing you, backhoe ...
Wow
that is Sad..
and to look 2 posts above yours and see that he responded to me...
We will indeed miss him.
