I only met him a couple of times (my fiance works there in the news) and he was a pretty neat, enthusiastic guy. He was too young to buy the farm. Chris said there were boxes of tissues all around the newsroom today. :(

The last funeral attended was about five years ago, when my cousin died as a result of a car wreck. This just seems so surreal. This whole year kinda seems surreal. Bizarro 2008? You make the call.
