popdude Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 ...died last night in an automobile accident here in California. He was rear-ended by a driver speeding on the freeway. He was only 30 years old, and was the sweetest guy in the world.Life is precious and our time here is short, so tell someone close to you that you love them today.

aussietime Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 mine too..that is very sad, I hope you have someone close to comfort you at this time..It is very hard sometimes to turn around to the person who is closest to you and say I love you. Often its easier to say I hate you - but sometimes that means the same thing in a way but you have to put it a bit more delicately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspathens Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Popdude:About a year ago, I also lost one of my best friends in a sudden way. Like your friend, he was a prince of a guy. My advice is to be with those who cared about him as you did. Also, give yourself a chance and time to deal with the emotional aspect of this. Look to those who truly care about you for support. My condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMMY TUNES Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Popdude,I have missed you on the board as I understand you have been away on business. So when I saw your name on a thread I immediately went to it. This is not what I was hoping to read. I am sorry for your loss. I wish you and his family my condolences. I thank you for your warm words to the rest of the board during this sad time for you. Looking forward to a time when you feel better and can joke about food again. Sincerely, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 John, was he wearing a seatbelt? We just had a high speed crash down here a couple of days ago where 4 people were in the car. 2 died without their seatbelts, 2 that did wear their belts survived with moderate injuries...

Kirk Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Sorry to hear about your friend, John. Your closing sentence are words to live by; even though we miss them when they are gone, it's nice to know that you have no regrets about things left unsaid or unfinished. Take care. Kirk.

darlene Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 John, How terrible. So sorry this happened. Your post reminds us how fragile and tenuous life can be, and to appreciate every moment we have with family and friends. Besides the fact that time ordinarily slips away so quickly, we become our parents' age before we realize it, anything and everything can change in a split second, as it did for your friend and everyone close to him. Good advice, John. I'll start with you: I love you! I hope your deep friendship with him will be a comfort to you in time.--Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
