I just stopped in and had a chat with him for about an hour at his store about a week and a half ago. Then a few days later I went back to talk to him and a little note was on the door saying he was out sick (I thought he was just playing hookie).
Then I went back yesterday and there was a wreath of flowers from the area businesses at the door saying that they would miss him.
So I went to one of the area businesses and they said he died in the hospital from an infection in his pancreas.
I am shocked to say the least.

Oh man i am sorry to hear that

I'm so sorry. This has rarely happenned to me. I remember a gorgeous young girl behind me lent me a cassette in high school. She died in a car accident before i could return the tape.

yeah I was just starting to get to know him. It just shocking how fast it took place, he was only in his late 30's

This just proves we can't take nothing and nobody for granted at all. Sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathy


ALWAYS make time to smell the roses
