Tragedy In my 'World'

A good friend called me from Fullerton, CA yesterday to tell me she discovered her father had committed suicide.
Very sad as I grew up next door to this family and had always been close with them. Heck I remember many things I talked to her dad about. He was very creative, an excellent woodworker and outlined me on my first ever stock refinish as a young teen.

I’m very sorry for your loss. Sometimes we can’t know the struggles some people have in their lives or the demons they have to deal with.

It's a sad thing, and touches more folks than we think. Unfortunately, Miss T and I are too familiar having worked with veterans groups for years... And coming from generations of vets. My stepfather and two uncles took that path.
You have my condolences for your loss. From personal experience, we know your pain.
