Unhappy OT, a dose of reality

We received a call late last night that My brother-in-law was in a boating accident on Long Island, N.Y. He was scuba diving and was run over by a boat. He bled to death before they could get him help. Don't know many details yet. He leaves behind a wife, 1.5 and 3 year old boys.

Be grateful everyday for what you and your family have in life itself... You never know when it will be snatched out from under you..

Thanks for all the condolences

My wife's youngest brother (38) was the one killed. It was a rough night as you can imagine. We have learned that he was with his family and others snorkeling. He was hit by a 24' boat. A few jet skiers went to his assistance but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Thanks for all the condolences..... They say things happen for a reason... I'm still searching for this one..
