Sad Day

Post by **rad14701** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 2:27 pm

After several agonizing days, the best friend I ever had passed away this morning... At 51 years of age he had lived twice as long as many had expected, having battled several life threatening illnesses... He conquered them all as best he could and never once complained... His lifeless body was found Tuesday evening on the restroom floor of his favorite bar in his transplanted hometown in Florida... Despite all efforts he never again regained consciousness... He died like he lived, playing hard and enjoying every day to the fullest as though it might be his last... I'm gonna miss him...

Life is so short....and some times it may seem like it will never end...
So sorry for your loss and others that may be suffering from this as well.

Kind regards to you and yours.

I've lost many close over the last few months. Just goes in streaks. All were under 30 years old. I do know how you feel. It really does hurt. Wish you and his family the best.

Sorry about your loss. Losing a friend is always hard. At least he lived life the way he wanted.

I raise my glass. Condolences, Rad. Time will dull the pain. Each of us have specific amount of time, and interact with a limited number of people.

Glad you and him had great times, while they lasted!

It is really tough to lose a good friend. Hang in there and we will have a drink to him.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride! ~Hunter S. Thompson

My glass is raised.

It is always hard to and I am sorry for your loss. After time I find that something will remind me of an old friend or family member that has died and a smile forms on my face!

Sorry to hear it Rad.

Thanks, everyone... Just got off the phone with his daughter and agreed to be a pallbearer along with several other friends of ours... He'll be buried just the way he wanted, in a printed shirt, shorts, and sneakers... The only things missing will be the braces and wheelchair as there's no need for those now... He's free of pain and the entrapment within his own body... I've heard rumor that he'll be sent off with a bottle of Tequila and a shot glass... Viewing is Wednesday afternoon and evening with the funeral to follow on Thursday... I may not be around much on those two days...

You go see your friend off. I think HD can survive without you for a couple days. Maybe?
Some things are more important.

Yairs Rad, death and funerals are shit sad things. Enjoy your times with him. I'm at the age now where folk are falling from the perch almost every week. It is difficult.
