Subject: [Az-Geocaching] A note about Bob Renner

I just received the following message through the website, and it 
appears to be for everyone that knew Bob:

------------------
I am recently returning back to geo-caching, as my father got me into it 
when I was a young child. I remember times spent with him as we would 
travel all over arizona looking for these little treasures. It was a 
good bonding moment for us as we really connected while out in the wild. 
I even still remember ones that I had helped him place over arizona, 
even one that was placed right in our own front yard.
I could see the enjoyment he got out of geocaching. And it wasn't about 
being the first to a new place or hiding a really good one, it was the 
places he would go to. The whole outdoors itself he loved. And he wanted 
people to experience it with him.
Now before I continue I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Alex 
Renner. I am Robert(Bob) Renners' youngest son. And like I have stated 
before, I am currently trying to get back into geocaching. Because even 
though the bonding I had with my father(whether it was geocaching or 
just camping) was great beyond words. I grew up and I wanted to do 
different things. I was there with him for his first cache and I was 
there for his last. And the things you wrote about my father...well 
thank you. Because there were some things not even his own child knew 
about him. And I am glad I got that insight. He was a great man, and 
through him I hope to be better. And I also believe through him 
geocaching became better. So on behalf of my family, thank you for those 
kind words. Because as I browsed the web looking for help on how to 
geocache, I stumbled upon this and it brought tears to my eyes that my 
father affected other people in great ways.

I regret to inform you that unfortunately his funeral has already 
passed. March 19th. I did not know how to contact any of his geocaching 
friends. So I do apologize for that. As you know he did pass away of 
Pancreatic cancer, it was March 12th at his home at 9:25pm. He passed 
peacefully with his two sons and wife by his side.
