Struck By Lightning!!

Post Reply New Topic

Not me, thank God, but a former co-worker of mine. He was killed and his stepson, who he was carrying on his shoulders, is in critical condition. One of my co-workers just dropped this bomb on me.
He was a really funny guy to work with, like I'd imagine a mischevous younger brother to be. Once he sneaked up behind me and gave me a wet-willie in both ears. I think the chewing-out I gave him was one of the longest angry tirades I've ever uttered without a single cussword. He was afraid of me for 3 weeks after that. Another time, he and I were sitting outside on the steps smoking and he said his butt was really cold because he didn't have any underwear on. Nobody but Keith would say that!

Thats aweful.

My sympathies.

That's terrible. It always amazes me how fragile life is - how you can be chatting it up with someone who is perfectly fine one day, only to learn that they are dead the next. It's a very surreal, sobering feeling. I'm sorry for the loss and I hope that your co-worker's stepson will be OK.

OMG where did this happen? Was this during that little storm last night?

I'm so sorry for your loss! ((hugs))

It was somewhere in Florida. I haven't seen him in many years, but he was one of those people who was so free, so friendly. Thank you all for your concern.

I'm sorry to hear about that,we lost a neighbor the same way and he really was a nice person,it seemed so unfair.Why this truly nice person and not some evil jerk?

I'm sorry for your loss who seemed like one of your close friends.
Have you heard anything further with his stepson? Has he survived?
