My broken heart...
Tomorrow I have to give a eulogy for my 42 year old brother who passed away last week. We spent the 80s together with Knight Rider, the A team, and the Dukes. He had some nice third gen T/As in the 90s, and was one of the best auto techs I've ever known. Plus he was a great dad who is leaving behind a 3 year old. Man life f'n sucks.

That's way too young. Sorry to hear it, UBG. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a little brother. Will keep you and his family in my prayers tonight.

Such a sad story to read, considering his age. Was it something you had seen coming, or did it strike you in the heart without warning. My 98 year old Mother-In-Law just passed away last week, but you knew it was just a matter of time before the body gave out.

3. And just a super sweet kid. I was playing trucks with him yesterday and he made sure to give me a big hug when I had to go.
