We were not 'close', but I have known him several years. Don't think anyone saw it coming. I think this has me shook up more than losing my Dad or even my brother. My brother was only 53, but had more wrong than right physically. We were surprised he lasted as long as he did. But when you see someone go like this it makes you say :wtf:...
this guy was a good **** (unlike some of the Engineers here) - down to earth and pretty easy going.. sad to hear he passed. He had some things going on physically but I am still more than a little surprised by his passing..
