Yeah. I was gutted. Many folks were.
He was a chief petty officer in the Navy, retired. Guy was the kind of guy you wanted to be. I mean, it seemed like he really had his shit together. I really, really liked him and I don't really, really like anybody.
One day, he shot his wife to death and then turned the gun on himself. Turns out she was a raging alcoholic/drug addict, had been to rehab like 5 times, fell off the wagon yet again and that was it for him. He just couldn't take it anymore.
We all knew exactly dick about it all.
Not a day goes by I don't miss him.
