My childhood friend and riding buddy of 40 years. Postal truck pulled a u-turn in front of him. Scott hit the door. Bruised his leg really bad. Doc's sent him home. 48 hours later, he died from a blood clot to his lung.

Sad news indeed, two friends in 1 month. Condolences to the family and friends. Did he have any underlying medical condition which would have predisposed him to the clot?

Larry,
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Someone once told me:

?Life is our Journey and Heaven is our Destination.?

Look back on your friends journey, embrace who he was, what he did, how he loved, and how he was loved. He is now at his destination, he is at peace, void of pain, and full of his whole families love. He will wait for you to join him, after you have made your journey, be sure to make your journey as full of love and compassion as you possibly can?in his memory.

Take care
Bob
