Sad news

I received some sad news today.  A colleague of mine passed away last night, after a long, hard fight against cancer.  Even though it was expected, it is never easy to deal with.  He was younger than I am.  I don't think in all the time I worked with him, I ever heard him moan or complain about his illness, even though I know he was frequently in pain and discomfort.  At least his suffering is now at an end.

I was able to spend some time this afternoon with another colleague who is still at work.  Sometimes it is good just to talk.  

Over the past few years, N and I have attended funerals of too many colleagues who have not made it to retirement.  Sadly, we will soon attend another.

RIP Kev.
