One of my closest friends is a guy I officiate with. I feel all the emotion you stated in your post. I am very sorry for your lost. Kind of puts things in perspective for those that think this thing we do is life or death. After all it is only a hobby (a very important one to a lot of people) but friendship and family mean more. Fifty-one years old is just too young. I will keep his family and you in my prayers.

Peace
