    calphin deadly at 250 yards!!

    A good friend of mine was killed early this morning in Utah, while driving his semi. I have known this guy for 30+ years. He leaves behind his wife, 2 children, his mom, and his grandma, who raised him from a small boy.
    I don't have many details at this point, but would greatly appreciate your thought and prayers, not only for me, but for his family as well.

    This is a sad day for me.

    I was really just a kid when I was around him the most but the stories about the hell he and my brother raised are almost like a what not to do list of how to avoid trouble.

    Are you asking if everybody knows that we all die? I'm not sure that's really a question that needs to be asked at a time like this unless I'm really just misunderstanding what you're trying to say.

    I understand that better than most people you are ever going to meet. My brother just lost a good friend so I know he knows that as well but the wound is fresh and need not be prodded by the philosophical.

    I know it's not meant in a bad way so I'll leave it at that.

    Sorry Brother Mike,

    Never easy to lose a friend, especially one whos character has left a handprint on your own being.

    As mentioned and was echoed by your brother, remember the good times as I am quite sure they easily outnumber the bad.

    He might be gone from Gods Green earth, but far from forgotten.

    Thoughts to you, yours and of course his...

    Yes, that's true. BUT it doesn't stop us from missing them when they go. Knowing their physical presence is gone is a very hard thing to get over.
