Damn Mr Baseball, died today.

We hung his house, in the early 90's in Menomonee Falls, almost 1,000 sheets. Got to meet Bob several times. He gave us brewers tickets & beer vouchers, he was really down to earth guy, always cracking a joke. He had a big party after his house was complete, had all of the workers over, full sized bar & billiard room in the basement, food was some fancy catering company from Milwaukee, almost no one ate, since there was a open bar. So many of them wealthy people told us they were going to have a big party for the workers when their house was done, he was one of the few that actually followed through an did it.

Few months later we did the house next door to his, up on a hill, one of the flunkies from our company was delivering scaffold, left the k30 flatbed truck in 3rd gear, facing down hill, forgot to set the E brake, truck slipped out of gear, and ghost rode right into Bob's house, did a bunch of damage to his house, Bob laughed about it, he was on Letterman a few weeks later, and made jokes about the incident.

Pic of Bob's house I grabbed off da nets.

Thanks all. We are in shock. He was such a happy guy. Seems he was in a lot of pain and stuff. There is always an alternative. I wish I had knew so I could have reached out. I hate this stuff.
I hate to hear that.will put his family on the prayer list.

Just found out a buddy of mine took his own life. Had surgery a couple months ago, complications from surgery. Has been in pain. Left behind a wife and grown kids.
Things like this are very sad, especially when perhaps pain relief could have had a completely different outcome.

Now that Hollywood has its newly appointed ambassadors, actually three, the new administration should take the time to appoint an ambassador for the USPS, what about Dallas?
You see what the nos 257 for sale? Canuckland…

Good morning men, appreciate all the thoughtfulness. I am trying to wrap my head around it. I always wonder whether or not someone could have prevented it or not. At the end of the day, a man decided he couldn't deal with whatever he had going on in his life, so ended it. There is nothing anyone can to about it now.

I did touch base with friends whom I haven't really spoken to in a while, as we all drift apart somewhat. While it was a terrible tragedy that was discussed, those connections were remade, or at least dusted off. So some good comes from bad things too. I will be thinking about this for a while just to try to understand it, but I won't dwell on it. Life continues for those of us still here, will pray for his soul and for his family he leaves behind. All I can do. We move on, and continue as best we can. I have not walked a mile in his shoes, so won't criticise.

No more wet blanket, let move forward. Again, thank you all.
