Another Day

[radman]

Yet another reminder that life is tenuous, fragile, and sometimes brought up short with little or no notice. Pay attention dammit!!

Bye Jim

So sad...RIP, Jim. You just never know when it's going to be 'your time'. I'm leaving now to go to a funeral for a friend of mine that passed away on Saturday. He was 44 y.o. with 3 kids. Healthy, non-smoker - died of a severe heart attack.

Live for today - you just never know.

RIP, Jim, God bless your family!

A good friend of mine, just over 50, overweight, cigar smoker, scotch drinker, in other words, a good guy just dodged a bullet the size of a Suburban. He was having surgery to repair a knee and had a massive heart attack on the OR table. Talk about right place at the right time. He flatlined, they hit him a couple of times with the paddles and got him back, brought in a thoracic team and did a quad bypass ( and finished his knee). He is 5 weeks out of surgery and recovering beautifully from both. although slow because he can't excercise much yet because of both the knee and the huge scar on his chest. He has lost about 30#.

Hug your kids and spouse every damn day, because you just don't know where its going to come from.

So sad... R.I.P. Jim.

A sober reminder to pay attention, for sure.

This is copied from the thread but I thought it was really touching:

That's not 60 miles from my house and I didn't hear a thing about it - I don't recall anything from the papers at all.

Sad, horrible thing..

Crap. I hate to hear these stories. It's even worse (imho) when it could have been so easily avoided.

Please folks, remember that the street isn't the track.
