A message from Bob's daughter, Wendy:
Robert Pocklington was emergently transferred from Obici to SNGH on 23 May and is having surgery in an attempt to restore the circulation to his foot. He has been suffering with intermittent excruciating pain for many months, and somehow all his physicians missed the fact that blood flow was severely compromised. Please send your prayers and positive energy his way.
Thank you; daughter Wendy.
UPDATE: BOB'S SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, MAY 31, 2011. PRAYERS ALL AROUND.
UPDATE: June 1, 2011
Bob's artery graft surgery was successful and his recovery is being monitored. Keep the prayers coming!

Best wishes to Mr Pocklington. He is an icon in our community and has the respect of the many people his life has touched.
Hopefully he will be with and continue to inspire us for years to come.
Just yesterday I sent him a note that our community could use his thoughts on the importance of this Memorial Day. I'm sure his best wishes will be in the hearts of many of us this weekend.
get well soon Pock!
This Memorial Day weekend it is important to remember our fallen and living veterans and it is just as important to enjoy yourself this weekend. To spend time with your family and friends. Have a beer while grilling that steak in the backyard or at the beach while watching your kids or entertaining loved ones and friends. What better assurance to them that they did not die in vain? Enjoying your freedom and understanding it’s value is the best way to honor the sacrifices of our friends and loved ones.

Leah and I wish you a speedy recovery, Bob. You are in our prayers.
Any update on Bob after surgery? I was downton yesterday and a popular former mayor and TV celebrity didn't know he was in the hospital.
Whats the latest on Pock?
thanks very much for the update of my friend Pock!
That's great news about Bob and bad news for croakers. The power of prayer being Michigan tough and a Vet certainly helped. Get well soon.
Bob,
I just found out about your hospital stay and we are all praying for your speedy recovery. I hope you are enjoying the comfort of family and friends.
Regards,
Roger and Dorothy Leonard
Glad to hear that Pock is doing better. Get well Bob, we miss ya.
