What R you doing today?

[Larryh86GT]

I am having a sad day today guys. Our operations manager, John, 57 years old, my coworker and friend for more than 13 years passed away at his home last night. We believe he had a heart attack. I'm having a difficult time with it. He and I were like an old married couple here. We busted each others chops constantly, joked and laughed constantly, and occasionally fought like hell with each other. He left work yesterday at 5PM, stood in the doorway to my office area holding his jacket and said "I'll see you in the morning". I said "Goodnight John, I'll see you in the morning." For some reason this comforts me that we said goodbye to each other. I'm not doing so well holding back my tears.

It's always tough to lose a friend. Sorry for your loss

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. And there is nothing wrong with shedding a tear for a friend.
Part of our problems today is that very few care enough for their fellow man.
As we grow older friends get few and far between, cherish the memories you have of your friend.

That is terrible Larry but Im glad you didnt say goodbye on a bad note. There is nothing worse then agueing with someone and never having the chance to apologize, unfortunately I know what that feels like.

Sometimes work buds can be as close as family.

Everyone - Thank you for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. I appreciate it. I have read these type of sad postings on forums in the past and wondered why would someone post this? Now I know why.

Just got back from picking up my daughter from daycare. Tonight I will be working the local festival at the FD booth. I'll be there from 5:30 til 11:00.

Should be a decent year for the festival weather wise. Last 2 years were terrible.
