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.
