Dale,
That is so sad. I just wanted to say I had this happen two years ago with a friend and ridding buddy. He worked for the customs service and when his life left him his life fell apart. He too shot himself. I spent quite some time agonizing over what I could have done to help him. All I can say is time heals all wounds. I miss my friend as you will miss yours. If there is anything I can do for the family let me know should we each send you a few bucks? Sam DiBartolomeo Riverside, CA
