Sad news about a mate

Sad news today - rang a friend and colleague up this morning and left a message to ask if he could do a job for me.

I knew he had been very ill - very seriously ill in fact. But I had thought it was getting better. That said, I had also wondered why he had not been about or why we had not been able to get together for our regular coffee meetings.

But like all things - I let things slip thinking we could always catch up “later”.

Lunch time today his wife rang to say the cancer came back with a vengeance and he died on Sunday.

I’m devastated. He was totally professional in all he did. Much younger than me by 20 plus years at just 45.

His kids are still teenagers.
