Terrible news about my Pop's friend

Charles Osbourne, or Charlie O. as we called him, was one of my Pop's best friends. They drove for Consolidated Freightways together forever ago. He was a hell of a good guy and was eligible to retire, but loved driving.

Godspeed, Charlie. :(

RIP Mr. Osborne.

Oh no! How terrible. Do they think he may have fallen asleep? How about family? Does he have a wife and children? That's horrible. :cry:

Pop thinks it may have been partly the wind, because it was really howling that night. But the real cause might not ever be known. All I know is that Charlie was a very experienced driver who had never had an accident until then.

And yes, Tassy, he had a wife and kids. :(

Sorry about your Pop's friend, Chad... even experienced drivers are prone to making mistakes. It's a real shame he wasn't wearing a seatbelt - who knows whether that could have saved him. A sad accident.
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
