Road Runner Posted January 3, 2022 Share #12 Posted January 3, 2022 This is incomprehensible to me right now. He was a good friend to many of us here. I told him in several emails that, as sick as he was, he needed to go to the ER. After Petite said he had returned from there yesterday, I thought he must be okay, sort of. This is just beyond belief. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted January 3, 2022 Share #19 Posted January 3, 2022 This always reminds me of an episode of My Name Is Earl. The details are foggy, but when a guy dies brazilians of friends from online forums that his family didn't really know he had turn up. Like Biker Billy was on almost all bike forums with different names and personas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the wait time was too much for him and he gave up and went home? I'm beginning to wonder about all this. Or if the doctor diagnosed correctly. A very close friend here in town (who knew dearie too, whenever he was with me, all of us went out to dinner), lost her sister in her late 50's just last year. It was very strange. She was in the hospital for a wk. Then released and died a few days at home. I still don't know exactly what she died from....and the family may not know precisely either. This was 1 month after dearie died. She so shocked and in grief, she didn't even tell me until 3 wks. after her sibling's death. There was a news reported case of a Vancouer-area woman who lost her hubby to covid. He was in his mid 30's. He had covid and was in hospital for 2 wks. Released. After a wk. at home, he was sitting in the living rm. watching tv . She went to bed. She found out next morning, he died in his armchair. They have 2 children under 5 yrs. old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
