Current Mood:  sad
I found out that on January 2nd we lost a good man and I a good friend. Jerry Anthony O'Brien was my first long time employer. My time at Microplay/GameXperts/MovieXperts was always cherished(ok, except when I was working there at times :) ) You very rarely saw Jerry without a smile on his face and he was often giving people deals, much to his wife's chagrin. He was only 48 when he had a heart attack. The ambulance wasn't able to get him in time. I think the worst of it is that he was alone when it happened; something I fear will happen to me.
I only found out the day before yesterday that he passed away, and 5 minutes ago as to what actually happened.
I'm pretty upset about it; yeah I know it HAS to happen at some time, but it doesn't mean that I have to like it. Jerry was a man that I looked up to. He had strong values and was virtually everyone's friend.
He already is truly missed. |
