awww...that's awesome support for his wife and little children. i'm glad to hear that piece of human decency and love got extended ~*

No one could say good bye face to face, BUT over 500 went to the crem to send him on his way! It ended up standing room inside, and OUTSIDE, in the freezing cold! RIP SPAM

that is awesome to hear Andy. i can't imagine her sadness, though i would imagine in time things will get easier for her to bear. what a feeling of ripoff tho, when someone dies suddenly and there's not a chance to really say goodbye. i guess that is the way it is, though, so what else can you say? it's (auto accidents) the leading cause of death statistically up until you're 35, when cancer and heart attacks take over.

The raffle at work raised over £5500, onto of the other money raised.

Imagine it was you.

Now go back home, look in the mirror, count your lucky stars all possibilities lie wide open for you in the universe and this wasn't your fate, and DO SOMETHING WITH YOURSELF.

When the Eye of Sauron turns inward into your own brain, you explore the nuances of yourself to the point you may fall deeply in love with yourself and your imagined tragedies ... but those around you will think you're obnoxious.

Lucy's advice? Tell the violin squad to go home, give them a tip, roll up your sleeves, and see what YOU CAN DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE with people who really are genuinely suffering.

BURN UNIT
CANCER WARDS
HOMELESS SHELTERS FOR VETS
HOMELESS SHELTERS FOR FAMILIES
ABUSED SHELTERS

Wash clothes for the handicapped. Read books to the blind. Spend time with para- and quadriplegics.

There are a $hit load of ways we can feel positivity in our hearts and lives.

FIRST we must give up drugs and drinking, and our own inward selfish self-absorption.

good one blades ,you tell him

such a myopic self-centered thing to say slayer. why should anyone prove anything in a futile discussion like that with another? your statement implies rage, disgust, martyrdom...depression, despair, but mostly rage. so many things that frankly annoy the hell out of me in the particular space i am in. sounds like something an addict or a drama queen/king teenager would say. maybe it was not intended that way, but that is just the sort of victim thing an alcoholic or doom and gloom nihilist says in the height of manipulation and control when they are seeking attention. or talking in circles around what they really need to say. wanting to set the stage after great convincing arguments against anything positive said for saying what's really on the mind. why not cut to the chase, get on with it, get out what you want to say?

I beleive that is alreadt taken care of. There are several fundraisers going on. The local pub is hosting a fundraiser for the family. And to top of the mega Generosity, the PUB will be donating 10 % of that nights profits to the family. To think of these credit crunch times and this is happening. Those who have the Newspapers link could follow the events if they wished. So forgive me if I do not broadcast to one and all the full details. Living 50 miles away and not knowing the family I can not do a lot, BUT his close friends at work are doing other stuff, and no doubt there will be another collection later on.

That is very thoughtful of you Andy. Something that occurred to me was to say to you that as the months go on, maybe you and your coworkers can help his widow with simple things like mowing the lawn, changing the oil, the usual guy stuff. These next few months she'll be grieving, then her baby is coming so she'll have to transition to being with a newborn. Maybe you and your coworkers can give her a list with your numbers so if something happens like a drain gets plugged or something breaks she has someone she can call for help or advice. I know when I've transitioned post divorce to life alone (nothing at all as serious as becoming a widow of course, but similar in being alone) it was very tough in those aspects. She'll figure something out longer term, but just right away she probably will have them just add up to what is overwhelming her. I would never assume she would have those supports in place, because everyone around her and the children will probably be in grief also. Wow, I cannot imagine her baby's birth. That is very very sad :o(. But at the same time it will be hugely joyous to her to have that piece of her husband, a legacy, to walk with her into the future. Ahhh, my prayers are with them all.

Hey g, are WILDCHILD and lennon38 out on a 6-month sheep drive?

the generosity of you and your colleages is over whelming,,good on you mate,,,and i will pray for his family in there time of need

Thanks for ALL your concerns, and work is still a little subdued! There is a collection tomorrow, so for a change I will put to it, as he was a smashing guy to work for. OK I did a couple of days last year, and he was so gentle. He tried to make fun of you but failed, BUT you still have to laugh with him.

26 years of age happily married with a 14 month year old and one due in Febuary.

I have sent a link to the local paper with the details that we have to the inner circle.

YEP S H I T does happens, and if you are late, then if you still have little time to get there, then take your time, as you will still be late. If possible phone a friend/supervisor if it is safe and leagl to do so. I use Blue Tooth!

RIP SPAM - that was a combination of his first and second names

sorry to hear that Andy, my thoughts are with you and I send you a big hug.

Condolences, my friend. Man is fragile and life is fleeting. But that doesn't make the loss any less painful.

((sorry)). we call that "hydroplane" not "aquaplane." interesting to note the different expression. that really $ucks. being ontime for a job doesn't seem worth the cost, you know? that's very sad. the surprise of it all is what gets me. i had a friend who talked quite alot about moving back home to be near family before having kids. i guess she had a job but her husband was struggling out here. and they missed everyone. i sat near her at work, and we'd many a conversation where she ran stuff by me asking if this or that were nuts. i was like "no, it's not nuts to want to be where you want to be. even if you don't have a job there but you do here. those things will fall in place." i got a job in a different area and moved, then like 2 years later i read this article in our company online news...that they'd finally made the break, had their storage truck packed up and decided to head back home. they wanted to do a quick hike up a peak out here before leaving. so, they took a quart of water each and hiked to the top. they were both avid hikers, and very much in shape. unfortunately the summer heat was too much, and they got dehydrated. she collapsed 75' from their car and died. he made it 20' more and he died. i freaked out when i read the article. i was like NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! they were finally going to go home, and their families were ecstatic to have them coming back. their whole lives were ahead of them. WHY? it was funny, the song "Everybody Hurts" came on (R.E.M.) as I got in my car and left to go home. I wept my frigging eyes out so bad. As in body-wracking grief. She was such a nice girl. That song, it was like a hug from her to me, you know? And a goodbye. The timing of it was really strange. Some time later I went to the trail where they died, and said goodbye to her. And told her how sorry I was that things ended like they did, and how sad I was for their parents. And for the children that would never be. damn.

It appears that he was running late for work and was sober. I guess we wil find out more details as tyhe week goes on, but what little I can make out he aquaplaned across the road into a tree!

A very sad loss indeed, and the whole site was subdued today!

aww Andy, (Darkblade reaches through the screen and gives you a hug). sorry to hear about your acquaintance. death? it can be very mind-boggling. certainly sobering to think of facing. sounds like drinking may have been in there somewhere. am i right?

sometimes i think we are reminded of death so that we keep the frame of what we are gifted with in life around the right content. and i don't mean what's in a mug.

deciding what really matters and ensuring that's in our lives. fixing things that we've been leaving broken for too long. it's about new perspective. now if you don't let life and the tube drain that from you, you'll be on a higher step tomorrow then you were yesterday.

yep well who would be expectin death,,
