Jan. 9th, 2008 @ 05:36 pm Unfortunately, it has to happen sometime
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.

Hey man, Bill called me on Saturday to let me know that a buncha the old staff were planning to go out for a night once things calm down a bit. I haven't heard from him since, but I'll let you know if I hear something.

My condolences. It's always difficult to lose someone we care about, regardless of when or why death strikes.
