Early on friday morning my wife's younger brother was killed in an accident at work. He was only 38. He was working night shift on a site when something dropped of a crane or elevator and hit him. My wife and daughter have flown back to be with the family.
Those early morning phone calls are never good news!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Thank you all for your condolences and prayers. 
Home for my wifes family (and part of mine) is Ireland. They are having the wake yesterday and today; apparently lots of people have come to pay their respects; which is a boost for the family.
