I was stunned, shocked, to hear the news as well. He was always so friendly and posted a ton of thought provoking articles and threads.

I’ll certainly miss him around here. It’s crazy how life can be turned upside down for a family and a wonderful life lost.

I’m still shaking my head with disbelief. RIP.

While CC is confidential I will share one of Myname’s most recent DMs with me regarding a recent trip near me. I think it shows his love of family, music and just being available. His words and apparent joy of being a dad now take on extra meeting and are a reminder to enjoy each day.

I suspect he wouldn’t mind me sharing to convey that message.

“We went to NYC the next day and saw “Wicked”, which was amazing, and spent most of our day there.

The next day, we went to Philadelphia, which I really liked. It is amazing how close both NYC and Philly are to my daughter’s school. (Edited for family privacy).

The next day was move-in day, and that was a bit chaotic as you can imagine, but we got everything to DD’s quad room, which she is sharing with three very nice young ladies. All of the parents and families had lunch together, and then we thought we would say our goodbyes to DD.

DD’s little sister missed her so much, we actually saw DD for the next three days! But DD didn’t mind.

The last farewell was a bit anticlimactic, but DD loves being there. She says it’s been super-hot in her unairconditioned dorm, but she and her roommate (two bedrooms in the quad with a large party…strike that study…area) have fans. I think things are cooling off.”

This is simply horrible news!!
