My tow truck driver died yesterday.

52 years old, mowed his grass, came inside to lay down, and his daughter found him dead 2 hours later. Sad . Slightly overweight, and a chain smoker, died from a heart attack. It was brutal hot yesterday, over 90 deg, and humid
I have know him for 10 years, we did not like each other at first. I finally had to ask him one day what his beef with me was, and why he always had an attitude towards me. He thought I was friends with someone he hated, and I did not even know the guy.
We were pretty good buddies after that day
We were on our way out to dinner on Saturday night, and I saw him picking up a car, I honked and flipped him the bird, he returned the favor. Last time I will ever see him. Never know when you # will get pulled

Sorry about your friend.
Just goes to show you, you can never be too careful. I think I need to stop mowing the yard!

So young. Man, that sucks. Sorry for the loss of a bud, but I'm glad you guys were friends, not enemies.


(Me and my neighbor don't get along, maybe I should try and change that.)

It's strange to have someone here one day and gone the next.

I worked with a guy in his late 20's who worked out one day, sat in his chair to rest and died of heart failure in his sleep

Good kid who left a wife and young daughter.

sad.

everyone needs to quit smoking.
