    Thumbs up Thoughts and Prayers for a Cave Diver

    A very dear friend and Cave diver from Ohio has been battling cancer for almost a year
    and has been taking chemo, radiation and some new medication for throat tumors.
    He is having a 7 hr. surgery today at the James Cancer Center at The Ohio State University. Bob was diving the caves in Florida from 1972 to the late 1980's.
    He inspired 10 of use from The Guernsey County Underwater Rescue Unit to take up
    cave diving over the years and 6 of us are still at it. Bob has shared both stories, pictures and some pretty cool hand drawn maps of Peacock, Little River and some I
    have never heard of with us around a camp fire and a cold beer.

    Please keep Bob Ray and his wife Betty in your thoughts and Prayers today.
    I will post and update following his surgery.
    Jim

    Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.

    I remember Bob Ray and so does Ken Davis who manages my store. I dived with him and Ken in Devils Eye back in the early 70s when the mainline started around the corner at the lips. He used to make some pretty cool homemade lights back then too. We will keep them in our prayers.

    Having lost my wife to cancer 12 years ago, I will certainly keep him, his family, and friends in my thought and prayers.

    LORD we thank You for Your strength and the power of God touching and healing Bob's body and life today and from now on to walk and live in good health. We ask You for a speedy recovery for him, and great peace and comfort for Betty. Thank You for a long prosperous life for them both, may all their dreams come true. In JESUS name, amen.
