Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly how old, but my guess is 40-46 or so.

Having grown up with a dad in the Navy and moving around every 2.5-3 years, I don't have a lot of long term friends, and when I moved, I always left them behind and made new friends. If it weren't for the Internet, I probably wouldn't know. I haven't seen him in years, but both the wife and I would mention him from time to time and talk about getting together with he and his wife to have dinner. Thankfully, because of facebook, I'd been able to keep in casual contact.

What pains me the most about it is thinking about his wife and daughter and their loss.

It's similar to the Indian guy that passed earlier this year. He brought his wife and kids to Houston. I think they'd been here 3-4 years and then he passed away. So his wife and kids now, not only didn't have their husband/father, but were also half a world away from their extended family support group.
