Sad News to Report

[MartyT]

Dear Ones,

Some of you may remember from 2009 one of our members whose display name was gatorman. He joined our tribe following the death of his beloved wife Cindy on March 12, 2009. Another of our dear members has just notified me of his tragic death. He was killed in an auto accident in St. Louis four months ago.

Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones as we mourn the loss of one of our own. As the poet John Donne has written,

No man is an island entire of itself; every man 
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 
own were; any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.    ❤️

I didn’t know him, but it is indeed bad news.  I don’t know if he left behind family, but I hope, if he did, they find the support they need now having lost both parents, a brother and friends.
