I have the sad duty to advise Bob's faithful readers that he passed away the week before Thanksgiving, 2016. I haven't been able to write about it before. He was making his daily rounds when he came upon a big copperhead snake in the woods down below Cemetery Hill. It must have been a battle, because we found the snake lying beside him.
He had been missing for several days, and the hunt was on frantically to find him. Angel, one of his keepers, found him on Saturday before Thanksgiving after he'd not come home for 3 days. He has been cremated, as a good Egyptian priest would be, and is resting in a beautiful cedar box on the hall shelf where he loved to sit and meditate.
I know if he were here, he would urge that his blog be continued for the enlightenment and blessings of all his followers. Fortunately, his home of origin was located by accident and his mother is about to give birth to another batch of potential Hoteps. His keepers have their name in the pot for a baby Bob, and we will keep you posted should one be acquired!
Bob was a very special priest, and there will never be another to match him. His is now in the Great Pyramid with his mentor, and I'm sure they are having marvelous adventures together in his new, spiritual home. While we mourn him for our loss, we celebrate the belief in the Egyptian Afterlife, knowing that the Mighty Hotep is in his plane, flying high above us, still showering blessings and light over the city of Avinger he loved.
