A good friend/co-worker of mine passed away suddenly after suffering what was believed to have been a heart attack.
The same man who walked on his break/lunch/break every day, the same man who would get up early and walk around Hurricane every morning before coming to work.... died of a heart attack!
Today we had a memorial walk around our work places walking track , that was dedicated to him shortly after his passing. His mother and father were there and wife (who was stuck at work) was there with us in spirit.
We had a good remembrance and silent walk around the track in the frigid temperatures. Only fitting, as how he never cared what the weather was, if it was his break... he'd be walking!
I had the pleasure of working below (he was my Lead/supervisor) him for well over a year, in 2 different sections of the call center.
This man was a peacemaker when it came to us WVU fans vs Marshall fans.
He was a friend to anyone who needed one.
He was a good person to know and to set next to. You could always count on him being in a good mood. Of course he was in a good mood, he was a Christian and knew where he'd be going. Little did we all know that this young man, in his early early 40's, would be leaving this earth so soon to be with our Heavenly Father.
Alan, I know you're up there and I can't wait to take a lap around the pearly gates when I get there!
