The last couple of days have been hell. it started with emails from jerry telling me how his life had fallen apart due to his marrage. he said he was going to do something that really shook me up. I called. over the last 2 days i spent hours talking to him. I told him I was going to call the police because he was not in a good frame of mind. I did that last night and they did go see him. I called him this morning and asked how he was he said the same. he said he was getting some stuff together. I quized him about what stuff. he said just stuff then he said he was going out. I asked where. he said just out. Then he said to the store. I felt a little better. he asked if I was going to be around later. i said of course. I had to leave for an hour but I would call him when I got back. When I came back there was an email waiting for me . This email went to 3 of us. it said basically he wasn't changing his mind.and by the time I read it he would be gone. I called his home and spoke to his fosterson. he wasn't great about info but he said jerry told him to send the email. i asked if he called the police he said no. of coursse that sent me into a rage. I hung up and called. they said his wife had called and they were looking for him. I asked to be called. It is 9:38 I talked to his wife minutes ago and she said jerry had taken his life. That is it people. I and a few thousand of you lost someone special. I thank all of you for your reposes to the thread and the emails I got. What can I say. it is going to be a long weekend. Good bye friend.. Lou
