We held Mike's service at my church today. The place was packed to the gills, and the love and remembrances were flowing. Some heartfelt tears, lots of laughter. Things like this are where my hippie church really rises to the occasion, and brings it all back home.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was a stand up guy & a great friend. Hard to come by, but great to have.

Your friend sounds awesome. Sorry for the loss.


Out of the blue like that is very difficult and shows just how random this can be.

Sounds like a party he would have enjoyed, and that's how it should be done.

:thumbsup:

Best wishes during the healing process.

Yes, life is not fair. Sounds like he was appreciated by family and friends.

Thirty years ago, I was working after hours trying to graph some reports which were due for a meeting on Monday. A great guy who worked nearby on the floor, but only casually knew me, stayed to help me out to understand a new color printer. He didn't have to, as he had nothing to do with my assignment.

He was in his mid to late 40's, and maybe 50 pounds over weight. Very pleasant guy who always seemed very calm. Sadly when I showed up at work on Monday morning, I heard that he passed away from a heart attack. I was shocked to say the least.

I'm sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your friend, you have my condolences. My wife lost her cousin just last week, heart attack too. He was born around the same time she was and was in his late 40's. Another IT guy (DOD) and a high stress life. He was athletic, barely drank, loved to travel with his wife and two kids and it came out of the blue.

No matter how long you live, life is short so enjoy every minute you can with those you love.

Just to clarify, he likely died from the aneurysm, and those happen in the brain or large vessels in the torso, not the heart. It gets difficult because most folks don't understand the difference. Unfortunately, the end result of a ruptured aneurysm or a heart attack can be death

Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, it was first reported as a heart attack, later clarified to be an aneurysm.

Condolences for your loss, Perk. Seems like it's always the good ones who go young.

Although come to think of it, that isn't very flattering to you and I, is it? Lol

Or the neck, aortic arch. People can have stable aneurysms and die from heart attack, they find the aneurysm during the necropsy but was stable. Or the aneurysm was starting to dissect, gives off an embolism. etc.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

And I'm just as guilty as everyone else since I got family and friends that I really should keep more in contact with. Technology has made the world a smaller place but it's amazing how little we use it to our advantage to keep in touch with family and friends.

Sorry to hear Perk. I hope its some small comfort to go to the service and see all those people and know that he was loved.
