One of those emails

I got one of those emails yesterday that said, "there has been a horrible tragedy..." Not good. An old friend and coworker passed away suddenly. He was 43 and leaves behind a wife, two daughters ages 12 and 9 and a son who is 6. I'm still in shock.

Curtis was a Marine who had served in Desert Storm, an athlete who had finished an Ironman Triathlon, a solid database engineer who had worked with me for over 9 years in a very grueling telecom industry, a mortgage banker, and had recently returned to school to study physical therapy. All of that, but even more important, a devoted husband and father, and a guy who would bend over backwards to make your life better.

We should all live a life that full.
