Just lost a co-worker

Sign in to disble this ad
I just learned that a guy I work with died. I don't know when yet (he was at work last sunday). I should learn more tonight. He was a real nice guy. I used to hug him and tell him I love him every friday night. We had a good laugh.
His 2 of his kids and his wife are also working with us.
My wife liked him a lot also, she crying right now.

We think about his kids they are still young. We hope they will alright.

He was only 42. He was over weight I have no idea if that contributed to his death though.

He will be miss.

RIP Brian Forster

Great guy.

Sorry to hear that, Yvon. Work is ALL about the people you're with and the relationships you form with them. I've worked with a good few colleagues over the years who've meant a lot to me - and, I hope, vice versa. Working with someone can make you very close to them. Often you spend more time with them than with your own family, and with a lot in common.

I think it's CVA (Cerebral-Vascular Accident) which is the clinical name for a stroke.
