A friend of mine died this week. He died of a heart attack at age 52. Even though he has a long obituary that emphasizes that he had a light-hearted personality and was extremely well-liked, it can't say near enough what a good, kind, smart, and very funny man he was.
He combined being a total smart ass with being a good, friendly guy.
He was very kind to me personally over these last ten years and I'll miss him, every day, for a very long time.
If y'all had known him, you'd feel the same way. There really aren't as many people that could be said for as should be.

Hope you're alright.

I was a month shy of 50 when I had my heart attack in January. Whenever I hear about this happening to someone so young, I realize how fortunate I am to still be here.
