Ended up living in the same town years after grad school -- just dumb luck. His son was born around the same time as our daughter. Healthy guy -- ran, never smoked, ate well -- you name it. Died of cancer. Shit luck.<br /><br />Coincidentally, he had a similar personality to your friend. Couldn't care less about who he offended, but often got away with saying whatever he thought. These are the types we expect to pull through anything. Really makes you question your own mortality. <br /><br />Your story is fitting. It's real to who he was.DreamingTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911536074688347584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-74993679786358447862009-10-18T14:45:59.831-04:002009-10-18T14:45:59.831-04:00Carpe Diem!!Carpe Diem!!Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-62726373785201754552009-10-18T10:37:39.777-04:002009-10-18T10:37:39.777-04:00Although my family heritage is Eastern European Je...Although my family heritage is Eastern European Jewish, my cousin Joanna decided to learn Chinese. She moved to Taiwan, became fluent in Chinese, married a Taiwanese businessman, and co-founded Graco, a leading manufacturer of children's furniture and furnishings.<br /><br />Her daughter, born nearly deaf, was the first Taiwanese child to have a cochlear implant. Joanna enjoyed her millions, but she also used some of them to set up a foundation so any child in Taiwan born with hearing problems gets free treatment.<br /><br />She was intelligent, pleasant, hard driving business woman who enjoyed her wealth and contributed to her adopted country.

The guy was 34 and left behind a baby boy barely 3. He was diagnosed with terminal stomach CA when he was scoped by his colleague for persistent GI complains.<br /><br />It is exactly when death strikes the unlikely ones that reminds us of our fragility... Anyway, I'm sure that Gruff would be delighted that he was remembered in this manner... I know I would... :))<br /><br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-67793143170898197412009-10-18T03:08:09.220-04:002009-10-18T03:08:09.220-04:00Man, sorry to hear that.
