Suicide Attempt for Old Co-Worker
Yesterday I heard that an old co-worker of mine and a family friend has attempted suicide. He's still alive, but it's not a happy story.
I had worked with this gentleman at a past job, and he had taken a liking to my brother Jim, who had also worked there. While Jim was sick with cancer, he would come by and see him and spend time.
He went on to pursue a career behind the badge.
I guess when he didn't show up for work - which he was accustomed to be an hour early for - the boys went knocking and found him. Miraculously he's still alive, but is paralyzed.
He'll mostlikely wake-up, if he hasn't already. And you thought a hangover was bad.
Peace be with him.
Update - 12-19-04
I was told news today that this gentlman has passed away. Peace be with his family during this time.
