Another Good Person Gone too Young

My good friend, to remain nameless right now, has passed away in a tragic accident this morning. He was a skydiving instructor and also did occasional exhibition shows. I have gotten very little details on what happened so far. I've heard that his chute did not open and I've also heard that he may have lost conciousness during a stunt while doing an exhibition show. He was not doing a tandem jump at the time. I knew him because his primary job was working on the nigh shift crew where I work. We have close knit crews, having only four people per crew. He was a hell of a card player and an even better person. We went out a time or two to the club to watch the "jiggles" together. He had a good soul and it's a very tragic thing that has happened. Everyone is really still in shock about it right now and nobody knows what to do or think. Everyone that can will be attending the funeral when details are announced. It's very early and it'll be awhile before those sorts of things are worked out. Can't believe he's gone. Tony: If you read this in heaven, I want you to know you have alot of people that love and care about you thinking about you right now. I wish we could have spent alot more time together. You never think the last time you saw someone is going to be the last time you saw someone. Everyone should truly treasure every moment they get to spend with people they care about because you never know when it might not happen again. Just to play one more game of cards or have one more beer together...or to take you up on that offer to go jumping with you. I really wish I had man...I really wish I had...
