Just found out a good friend of mine passed away unexpectedly on Christmas morning. He hasn't even turned 50 yet and was a non-smoker, fit guy. I am in shock and it hangs over me like a pall that can't be shaken. I'm just sad and shaken

This picture was taken about 10 years ago. He's standing next to me in the white shirt



Sorry to share my grief on here, but it's the only thing on my mind and I'm shaken to the core
The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons, sure makes me question this whole, "healthy eating and exercise" thing

So sorry for your loss, Ric.

Losing someone close to you is painful enough but it can definitely hit you like a ton of bricks when it's unexpected.

There's no timeline on the grieving process. Just know that you have ear/eyes here for you.

I'm sorry for your loss. Far too young. After all the losses I've had of friends and family, I'm still not quite immune to the grief or shock or empathy.

Thanks guys. I just ran into him at a store less than a couple weeks ago while Christmas shopping. We yukked it up for a few minutes, did one of those handshake-pull-light-hug goodbyes. He looked great and very fit. A real happy-go-lucky guy. Big sports fan

Oh, that's just awful. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. For some reason it always seems to hit harder around the holidays. Be happy you got to see him and have a little chat with him one last time.

So sorry about the loss of a good friend Ric. It is never a good thing but to happen at this time of year, really puts a damper on the holidays.

Over the past couple of years, I lost several pretty good friends to Covid. No reason to go into detail, as we all know someone who succumbed to Covid, but when it comes so close to you, it is hard.

Glad we can be here for you in some way Ric, so go ahead and speak what's in your heart and mind, we are here to listen and help if we can.
