Default Lost one yesterday

Warren, former Naval Aviator who was a mere 10 years my senior. Most congenial former fighter pilot I ever met. I liked him a lot, and they figured out they had best schedule adequate time for me to shoot the breeze with him whenever he came in. He missed his appointment on Thursday, had gone in the hospital for something, and the little voice in my head started barking a bit. He threw a pulmonary embolism and died yesterday. Had us all crying, really screwed with my wife's head. She is my overqualified nurse, and about the toughest chick I know. My sorry ass is crying as I type this. When Bill died last month it was not such a shocker, he was 100, not less than 60.

Warren, hope they give you clear blue sky and plenty of fuel for the afterburner.

RIP man. :hs:

I know how you feel emotional wise. I've been blabbering like a baby every now and again seeing what my mom is going through. Hope you're doing alright man.

Hold in stuff like this and it will give you a brain tumor or something.

Thanks guys, this is still sort of effing with my head a bit.
