Novi Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 I worked with him for over four years. He was always happy with a boisterous laugh. He embellished the truth all the time, but it just made him entertaining. Everyone at work is affected by this, myself included. I only work there part time now for the time being until I find another job, and last time I saw him he apologized to me for something that had happened. At first I said he had nothing to be sorry for because what happened was not his fault. But he insisted and I accepted his apology. He thanked me before he left for the day. I am so so glad I accepted his apology because if I hadn't I would carry that guilt forever. Last month he was so excited as he showed me pictures of the motorcycle he was hoping to buy. Two weeks ago he was so excited as he told me he was going on a road trip to a neighbouring province to visit a friend. Two days ago he died riding his bike when he collided with a moose on the highway on the way to visit his friend. I'm no stranger to a sudden death but for some reason I'm really struggling to wrap my mind around the fact that I spoke to him just last week and now he's gone forever. It's strange. I know he wouldn't want anyone to be sad, or at least not for too long. I feel bad for his wife. And the moose. The whole situation is just so ugly. RIP J.K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 I am so sorry for the loss of your friend, and for his wife's tremendous loss...I know what that feels, I lost my soulmate and best friend 19 years ago Father's Day. Living alone since excepting the short stint my son was between Air Force and College, that was long ago. Growing alone w/o my George. He died doing what he loved, glad for that part at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kayc. Yesterday was his ceremony. I didn't go because it was way too far out of town, and I was also registered to take a first aid course. I didn't want to miss that. What happened to George? I don't remember reading about that but I did recently come across a post of yours that you said you got conned. I'm so sorry that happened to you It is the same thing for my friend, he died riding a bike, which he truly enjoyed. He died instantly too so it's definitely not the worst way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 George was my soulmate and best friend, he died of a heart attack 19 years ago Father's Day, he'd turned 51 five days before. It was due to his diabetes and we'd been doing everything they told us to do. I got diagnosed after his death and spent 11 years getting sicker and sicker following the ADA and AMA instructions. Now I controll mine with diet, exercise, and intermittent fasting, eating Ketovore OMAD (one meal a day) and help others learn how to control theirs as best as we can, ever learning, by running a diabetic group on a FB platform. I also moderate a large grief group online. Both are my passion and keep me busy in addition to caring for Kodie (my service dog) and Panther (feral cat).
