Sunday, the 9th, was my youngest son’s birthday
(2/9/79). For new readers, he died last St. Patrick’s Day. A 100% disabled Army
Medic; he left a wife and five children. The Spartanburg S.C. coroner ruled it
an accidental death caused by adverse medication reactions.
My admiration for his widow is deep and sincere. He knew
what he was doing when he married that woman! She has kept the family going and they persevere.
He was a warrior, and he met a warrior’s fate. Shit happens!
Over at Daily Timewaster is a video that captures his spirit
as a youth (less helmet).
Another picture from happier days in 1993 with his first new
car. Since it was my sales operation, he got a great deal! Put 150,000 miles on
that Kia.
Side note: I managed an offsite sales program for my boss,
Steve Lance. We held 30+ five day sales in 18 different Colorado towns over a
three year period.
Update from my daughter-in-law. "He'd be so proud of Crystal. She's the only oboe player in the Spartanburg Youth Philharmonic Orchestra"
