Just found out a guy I work with passed away on Tuesday, got no idea of details just know he's about same age as me (Mid thirties) and got four kids - two of them still babies. Don't know if it's my inner celt but I keep finding myself crying, didn't know him that well but just keep thinking about his kids and the tears well up all over again.

It's getting ever-more depressing here - can someone post some GOOD NEWS pls?
It's all DOOM & GLOOM!
Mate, it's never a good time to die, but it's even worse for it to happen round Xmas when people are supposingly happy. I can only feel sorry for the poor young guy, a few years from now, his wife will get married again, his kids will grow up getting used to it, but he's gone forever. -

On a contract I had a couple of years ago a bloke in the office next to me died while out on a lunchtime run. He was in his 40s and a really top bloke, polite, well mannered, very likeable, got on with everyone, from the cleaner upwards (I have a lot of respect for people like this). I used to chat to him every day, and he was really full of life.
He was super fit, doing half marathons every other week, but just pushed a bit too far. I was quite upset by it all as his circumstances were similar, i.e. wife and kids (wife worked part time at the co), a real shocker, so I empathise with youThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

There's no shame in crying Snaw - it shows you're human
I doubt you're crying for him anyway - you'll be crying for your kids, imagining if that happenned to you.
Awful

I can relate to this somewhat.
A few months ago, heard that a guy I used to go to school/college with had passed away leaving a wife and two kids.
We weren't close or anything and he was viewed as a bit of a noddy, but it doesn't half make you think about your own mortality as well as feel for his family.Comment

It's hard when someone so young dies, it was my best mate’s funeral yesterday and I was a complete wreck, he was only 37 when he lost his 8 year battle with cancer, he left a wife and 3 year old boy behind... feckin heart breaking.

Avoid excessive exercise
On a different note, what is it with those middle-aged executives that keep running near the river in the City at lunchtime? Just go to a f'n gym, I said to someone that nearly pushed me over! Can they not afford the membership?Comment
