I'm sorry you lost your friend.

One quick story supporting your recommendation. Pete and I were both 40 working as the audit staff in our office in Houston. Talked to Pete one Friday afternoon on the phone. We were joking about the idiosyncrasies of our boss who was out of town.

Pete died that evening during an asthma attack leaving a wife and two young daughters.

Big boss from Anchorage on Monday says get his desk unlocked and make sure there is nothing awkward in there. I have the secretary with me as a witness and the first drawer we open has a big fat sealed envelope saying "In case of premature death" on the outside. He knew there was a risk of fatality from a previous episode.

We passed it on to his wife and he had everything broken down in there we found out afterwards. A secret trust fund from his inheritance (his parents) set up for his daughters included.
