Guffalo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I was expecting to read that he was at the gravesite of a beloved friend or family member - a wife he could not live without or a child... I used to work at a graveyard in high school and college during the summers. In the 4 years I worked there we had two suicides of family members near a loved ones grave. The pickup truck we used in the yard was from one incident. The family didn't want it since it had the decedent had deposited his brain matter throughout the interior of the cab.

boyst Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 His grandaughter killed in 2001 in a traffic accident...said he never got over it. 12 years doesn't really make it the same, to me, though. You know we're getting old when we're calling somebody in their 70s young! And I am 31... wtf. But, yeah, I get your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
