Very sad news for our members of TOTV
 

Sorry to hear that.

One of my favorite Doggie Doo Run Run people, Bob Buckland, passed on Friday, October 3, 2014. It has been a sad weekend at DDRR.

Hope these people are making others happy now.

One of the very first members of TOTV
 

I didn't know any of these people, but I'd like to send my condolences to all of the TOTV members that were friends of theirs.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Barb and Bill. They were such nice people. May they rest in peace together.

Barb and Donna, standing next to each other have both left us.

I recognize a lot of those people in the picture. I had gone to some of these 07 and 08 meetings but at Crispers and Donna lived up the street from me. Barefoot and Fireboy are Doggie Doo Run Run regulars when here in the Winter months.

I started going to Doggie Doo Run Run with Sport in January of 2007 and joined TOTV in July of 2007.

This is probably a stupid question but what does TOTV stand for? I assume it's a group.
Thanks

Nanna, no question is stupid. We were all there at one time.

Talk of the Villages = TOTV

Its the abbreviation for the forum.

I am so sad for all of these losses, Kathie and Tal. Could someone I.d. The people in the pic, left to right; front to back? I recognize Bare and maybe Charlene/phanaticlvr.

Tal, what kind of dog did Bob Buckland have? I may be able to put dogs and owners together In my mind

Duh! thanks new here!

Oh, no. I am so sorry to hear this. Barb had such a wonderful attitude about the whole thing. I thought she would be with us much longer. RIP, Barb.:pray:

Bob Buckland had two smaller dogs--Molly and Maggie. Miniature schnauzers, I believe. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/miniatureschnauzer.htm

He was often in the Villages Daily Sun for his art work and was a very active Course in Miracles coach.

His Obit is on the other web-site that covers the Villages which is not supposed to be linked. He passed on October 3, 2014 here in the Villages.

May their souls rest in peace!

Oh Kathie, thanks for letting us know that Barb and Bill have passed to the other side.
They were a sweet couple, married later in life, and very much in love.

The group picture really brought back bittersweet memories.
I think it was the second TOTV meeting ever when the membership was at around 2,000.
I miss Donna and Island Gal and Muncle, and now Barb and Bob have joined them.
And Talk Show Host (an original owner and his wife) have moved to Plant City.
Not many of the old gang in that picture still posting, except for Kathie, Redwitch and Barefoot.

Things sure do change, and a long life isn't promised to any of us.

Sure, be happy to:

At the table is Talk Hosts wife (can't remember her name) and Redwitch (who's birthday it was).

In the 2nd row, from left to right: Barb1191 (RIP), Me (KathieI), Momto5, Redwitch's daughter Jess, Wiwi (Islandgal) RIP, Donna (RIP), Barefoot and Nonie.

In the 3rd row, left to right: Bill (Barb1191's hubs) RIP, Talk Host and Donna's gorgeous husband John.

yes, sad news and sad to look at that picture....we all moved here around the same time and so many dear loved ones are no longer here....count my blessings every day!

We changed this users status to Eternal Member.

Thank you very much for this respect. It seems fitting. We all became friends with Barb through TOTV.
