Sudden Passing
PostPosted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 12:29 pm
I just found out about this a few minutes ago, and I'm still quite shocked that it happened.
First, I'll start by saying that a man who worked at my Dad's workplace, Bob, had a horrible New year's Eve. A week or so before it, his wife died, leaving him and his two or three children (can't remember how many). She had been battling cancer for about a year when she died.
It was hard on Bob, but he was soon back at work, doing his duties. I'm not entirely sure of the date, it may have even happened today, but he was playing basketball with some people from his church when he suddenly collapsed. He died, they suspect it was from a heart attack.
I wasn't very close to him, but I knew him as a friend. It's just insane that he died, because he was around the same age as my Dad, and from what I could tell he was quite healthy.
As for the kids, the day before he died Bob and his wife's sister signed power of attorney, granting the sister custody of the children in case something ever happened to him.
Please pray for this situation. It's bad enough that the kids lost their mother, but now, barely a month later, they lose their father. Please keep them in your prayers.
Also pray for those who worked with him. They were all very close, and had been working together for a long time. Mom told me that today at work everyone was really sad and depressed in general. Please keep them in your prayers.
