Bob died in his sleep this afternoon. It was as peaceful as anyone could
have wished: I was sitting beside him, and he breathed in, and out, and
didn't breathe in again. He had been unconscious since yesterday evening and
showed no signs of distress at any point.

end

I am so so so terribly sorry to hear this, but glad he went
peacefully. Heartfelt sympathy to you and the family and thank you
for letting us know. Heavy hearted as I write this but not nearly as
Carol must be.

This morning, I read him his latest messages and talked to him, and stroked
his hand. I doubt he heard or felt any of it, but if part of his brain was
still on duty, all he heard during his last hours were the voices of his
family and all he felt were the touches of warm blankets and loving hands.

How wonderful for those around him, and Bob himself.

The conventional and hospice care wisdom is to assume he/anyone in that
condition can hear everything even though they may not be able to respond..

I was with my FIL at his last moments. The family had been around all day and
had left for the cafeteria. I had not said a word all day till that time. I
leaned over Charlie who's breathing had been labored and whispered " Charlie you
don't have to do anything you don't want to anymore". He then took 1 last
breath and passed on.

I hope the family can garner strength from those who share their loss.

Godspeed, Bob. Your passing leaves us poorer, yet the legacy you have left
makes us all the richer.

Seconded, since this is better than I could think of to say.

Death comes to us all, but seldom so gently.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and to everyone who cared about Bob. I did not
know him well, but I am grateful, nonetheless, that he passed peacefully and with his
loved ones surrounding him.

I believe that, although they are unable to respond, people in his situation can
indeed hear our words and feel our love. God Bless Carol, and Godspeed, Bob.

He died knowing he was loved and would be missed. He died in the comfort of
loved ones and could say his Goodbyes....There isn't any better way to die.

I will miss Bob and wish his family well

And as Carol said, in his last minutes he heard the voices of his family and
felt the touch of their hands. What a comfort. We should all be that
fortunate. Bye, Bob.

Safe journey, Bob. We'll miss you here.

My deepest sympathies to Carol (who totally rocks) and the family. (And,
yes, I have heard that people can hear long after other things have shut
down.)

Rest eternal grant unto him, O Lord,
And light perpetual shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the departed,
rest in peace.

He will definitely be missed. He was so friendly and had a great knowledge
of food. Bye, Bob.
