"It wasn't bad. I just went to sleep. I love you Jr."

Martin Toler, a mine foreman, had worked in mines most of his life, relatives said. The 50-year-old previously worked with his 29-year-old son in a different mine for about four years before Chris Toler was laid off.

``I am going to tell him to retire when he gets out,'' Chris Toler said earlier.

He passed away with 11 other miners after lightning caused an explosion and they were trapped for 41 hours.
