Thursday was our Halloween celebration at work. We all dress in costumes and knock back a few drinks during the day. Work closes a bit early and we head off site to a kick ass party where the best costumes are awarded cool prizes.
Me and the crew had been out for lunch, we were back and enjoying a couple of frosties. It was about 2:30 in the afternoon and things were looking good.
Then the call came in; one of the engineers on the second floor had had a heart attack. EMT’s worked on him for almost an hour before moving him to the hospital. Word came back that he didn’t made it. The Halloween party was understandably cancelled. We cleared out and headed home.
Jim was a hell of a nice guy – funny, and fun to talk with. He was a fellow rider, and we were just talking about cold riding gear last week. He was only 39 years old! A wife and 18 month old daughter, too. It sucks.
So take care of yourself and those you love. And get the miles rolled up while you can.
Because you never know.
RIP, Jim.
