We are sad to say we have lost not only a long-time loyal customer, but a wonderful man we were proud to have considered a friend over the last 26 years. Mr. John Dobson, aged 85, of Phillips Wisconsin passed away on Saturday, April 3rd. We 1st met John on the opening morning of fishing in 1984 - our first opening day after purchasing Rainbow Point Lodge - We awoke before dawn to be ready for the big opener, and much to our surprise looked out the window to see several cars and trucks lined up in our drive, occupants sleeping, waiting to check-in and get onto the lake. Needless to say we hastily dressed and wondered what we were in for. John, and his regular buddies from Orfordfille at the time greeted us with strong handshakes, and laughter. Every spring since that day we have enjoyed John's company; have enjoyed the customary games of cribbage, and of course the required Manhattan to go along with it. He loved his fishing, cards and friends. We know that many of our other guests have come to know John over the years, and wanted to pass this information on to them as well. We are all better for have known him.
Our sympathy goes out to John's wife, family and good friends.
