Life...

So I got an im from an old co-worker of mine from last job yesterday, she tells me that a guy that I used to supervise died suddenly. He evidently called 911 saying he was feeling very dizzy and when they got there he was unconcious. He died enroute to the hospital. No one could reach his family and a mutual friend had to come down to the morgue and claim the body. He died alone.

I am kinda numb at this point. There is so much going on in my work life and stuff right now that I dont think I can really process through this. I am putting this here to remember him and hopefully let me work though what has been on my mind all night.

Ron was a good guy. He was gruff and cantankerous. He loved his 2 grown daughters and even still his wife I think even though they had been seperated for many years. His daughters drove him crazy, but he light up whenever they would call or he would talk about them. I remember him talking about the one getting married, he wasnt thrilled cause he was losing his little girl, but man did he beam as he showed pictures. I am sure there are alot of sides to any person, but I saw a good person in Ron.

I have lost so much of my family over the years I think I have become numb to it. This is the first time that I have lost anyone that I have ever been the supervisor of that I knew. I worked every day with him for 3 years. I know Ron was a good bit older than me, but he was still the person that I knew as an equal.

For Ron...
