I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Wes.
And yes, it's SO EASY to have the reflex thought that if you can manage to get a lot of money and an easy life... you'll be immune from trouble.
Makes my own troubles seem so small.

A lot of co-workers and former co-workers and I have felt the same thing some have said here. Almost from the moment Wes was financially free to do what he wished, his life was controlled by this disease.
It confirms my belief that life is essentially random, and the best that we can do is accept that, and then stack the deck as much in our own favor as possible - love much, be generous, be true to ourselves, pursue the things for which we have a passion.
Thanks for the expressions of sympathy here, but more than anything, this was just a way for me to say what I felt about Wes.

I know how you feel, it's bad to lose a good friend to death. I was fortunate, my lifelong friend recovered from a bad heart attack after over a month in the hospital and is now doing OK at home. I hate death and how it makes you feel. You will miss him the rest of your life but just remember the good times you enjoyed together and it will get better.

Hello, it was sad to read that you had lost a friend, but kind of wonderful that he lived such a life that brought him success and good friends who lament the loss of this good man.

My condolences on losing such a valued firend. A friend of mine's friend also died quickly after acheiving his life's goal/work. This kind of goes along w the theory that we come here for specific purposes, and that when we finish those, we are free to leave. Just a thought.

That's a hard thing. My thoughts are with you. If you need to unload, feel free.
I am sorry that you will miss such a good person being in your life. It is amazing how close we get to bosses and coworkers. We spend so much time working. Sorry this has happened.
Dear Seeker 4,
I am so sorry to hear about your friend!!
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
Thanks for the thoughts. We go to visit his family in an hour or so.

Seeker, I'm sorry for your loss. What a waste! This man seemed to have it all. This is the reason I try to enjoy everyday of life the best way I can. One of my best friend's dad suddenly dropped dead on Friday doing what he loved most. Gambling at Foxwoods, playing craps. His wife told her son over the weekend in that over 40 years of marriage, her husband never told her how much he loved her until 2 weeks ago! She savored his remarks but is now angry that he is suddenly gone.
