Super User Alpster Posted July 14, 2008 Super User Posted July 14, 2008 Link to the news article.....Tragic death of a 20 year old friend of mine... http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080713/NEWS/807130380/1001/news This young man has worked for me off an on for the last several of years doing survey work. Smart, caring kid who worked hard and went the extra mile. A sad loss to his family and those who loved him. That includes me. He knew the Lord and is now experiencing grace, but his family and I are feeling the loss. If you read the article and feel compelled to make a judgment about weather it was his fault or not, please save it. It makes little difference now. I was rich, handsome and bullet proof when I was 20 years old and I invented bad judgment calls. He may have made one, it but won't change much to point it out. Thanks for listening. It helps me to talk about it. Pray for his family. Ronnie Quote
bassdocktor Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 That's too bad to hear. I hope both you and his family will be ok through this. Quote
slomoe Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost a few friends to car crashes, and I guess the saying is true. "The good die young" You and his family will be in my prayers. Quote

Super User Sam Posted July 14, 2008 Super User Posted July 14, 2008 Ronnie, I know how you feel. On Wednesday, July 9th, Luke Bashore of Fork Union, Virginia, a rising LSU senior, was on his way home from a friend's house when his car spun out on wet pavement, did a 180* turn and slammed into a tree on the driver's side. It took the local volunteers and hour and a half to cut him out. What is worse is that his dad is the County corner and he was called to the scene, not knowing it was his only son. I am still upset at this loss. Luke was a fantastic kid; loved LSU; was respected and liked by his high school friends; and had so much to offer society. My prayers are with you and the family. I think this is something we will never get over. Quote
