No, that's not right, gravity sucks Life blows.....
A very good friend of mine, whom I've know since I was about 16, committed suicide today. He was the most talents person I have ever known.
Heart surgeon, oil painting artist, custom jewelry designer, hand made furniture builder, hand crafted guitar and violin maker.
Funniest SOB you've met.
And a very trouble man.....
I'm sad... and pissed off..... and I miss him......
Greg, I love ya man.....
Sorry for the downer guys..... But I had to leave his name somewhere......
Barth. Truly sorry for the loss of your friend. Suicide is incredibly difficult situation to respond too, because it is a decision that is nigh impossible to understand. God bless and comfort Greg's family and friends.
That sucks Barth. Bison is right, this is a tough one to respond to. May God give you the strength to comfort your friends family.
My condolences on your friend's death Barthheart. :(
Barth, we're all her for you. There is no simple, easy answer. It will take some time to come to grips with this. Let us know if it gets dark.
So sorry to hear that, Barth :-\
Barth - so sorry to hear about your friend. I know everyone always wonders how such great people fall so hard, but sometimes we'll never know. We just know that life's less robust without them...
Sorry to hear this Barth you have my condolences.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your friend, Barth. My prayers go out to him and to his family. And you know if you need to talk or anything at all, we are all here for you.

Agreed.
unfortunately Ive buried enough friends to have learned that pretty much nothing good comes from asking why.
for me at least its a dead end on emotion.
your buddy sounds like he was quite the character Barth. be happy you knew him.
Best wishes to everyone impacted by the loss, especially you Barthheart.
my best wishes too. sorry to hear this Barthheart
Thanks for all the kind words.... it means a lot.
Greg and 4 of my other friends have been hanging around together for over 30 years. He will be missed. But we have a life times worth of great fun memories.
Here's a couple of his website showing his works:

Again thanks for the support.
I'm truly sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, Barth. At least you were able to be a friend of his for thirty years.
Think of the good times.
I am sorry Bartheart.
Very sad news Bartheart.
wow Barthheart - that really sucks.
Strange old world that people who have such a profound effect on other peoples lives and seem to have everything going for them suddenly decide to commit suicide.
Real shame and sounds like a loss. God knows there are plenty of other people out there we could do with "not being out there"!
I am shocked Barthheart
... oh man, those works on both web pages are marvelous
Sorry for your loss!

What Brant said.
Sad news indeed...may the earth rest lightly upon him
Thanks again for all the kind words and support. It really does mean a lot.
Had a bad case of the "phuc-its" yesterday and basically sat in my man cave all day.... not doing much really.
There's a service this Saturday and we're gathering from all over the province. Saturday night will be severely drunken.....
Thanks guys.
