A friend got a message that he had died of natural causes. I know nothing else.

Wtf? I'm not ashamed to say the man was my friend, at least in the internet sense. I didn't know him face to face. What happened? I'd wondered why he wasn't around here. He seemed to have plans for the future. Prayers sent to his family.

The stress involved in some occupations don't promote longevity.

The stress involved in some occupations don't promote longevity. Man you got that right. I sure am looking very deep inside of what my chosen field is doing to me. Changes are forthcoming. God rest this gentleman from TN with whom I had become to know a little through out mutual geographies. Spiritual healing thoughts go out to his family. David

Sad news, even though I only new him on the internet. RIP

He seemed like a good guy who stood by his convictions and that carries a fair amount of weight with me. He was a serviceman and an LEO and appeared to serve both stations well. RIP, sir.
