Wow that is so young. Sorry to hear about someone so young passing. You were lucky to have seen him and spent that time with him. Hang in there.

I really appreciate everyone's thoughts. It only takes a moment to express those feelings, yet to the recipient the sincerity strikes a deep chord.
I erred on his age, he was actually 49 and a commercial fisherman/boat owner/family man/father/husband and one of my closest friends.
His health was never in question - stocky, fit & always laughing.
Last night Mrs GWN, myself and another very close friend of his held our own private wake.
We told stories and jokes, drank copiously (cried) and smoked more than we should have.
Today I worked myself into a major sweat doing outside work, desperately needing an outlet for this depression (and hang-over).
I am much better now, but it still seem surreal - like some cosmic joke that I don't know the punch line to.

I am sooooo sorry for your loss my friend.

I hope you can find some small measure of solace in that you were able to see him healthy and in good spirits just before.

Damn that's younger than my father and mother. Everybody acts tough but the truth is we are all relatively frail creatures, but alas I'm stoned and rambling. I'm truly sorry for your loss despite not actually knowing you, you seem like somebody I'd enjoy a beer with and I'm sure your friend was the same. Thoughts are with you

What a great sentiment. cn

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to joe macclennan again.

Damn it, I really loved this guy.
And so did his significant other - not to mention most of the whole town.
Big shindig tomorrow, we are expecting to feed at least 700 for the repast.
Tonight I cooked 20 lbs of pulled pork, a gigantic moose lasagna & a huge eggplant parmigiana.

But to add to the sorrow the vultures are circling - he was with his girl for 18 years (never married but with a child) and since we don't have a "common law" clause here she has virtually zero rights.

Glad you got to spend time with him before he was taken away suddenly. Drink a beer, smoke some good stuff and tell some great stories about him, even the embarrassing ones. It lightens the mood and people can relate and celebrate his life.
Cheers to you and your bud and his family.

Sorry to hear that man...It always sucks to lose somebody that is close to you. I lost a best friend when I was 18. It was 2 weeks before he turned 18 and in Australia, turning 18 is like turning 21 in America. Really big birthday so that was a shame. You got my condolences mate.

I will go and dedicate this post...Which is my 250th to your late friend...Celebrate his life buddy! RIP

I'm so sorry I just saw this..
I've lost so many friends, the older I get the more I bury.
Will there be anyone here to morn when my time comes?
Send him off with a hangover and a tear, remember the good times and curse the bad.
Love the one you bury and morn for those left behind.
I wish I could take some of your pain but in the end I'd be stealing something very precious.
Life can be cruel bro.♥
