A bud of mine was 68 , a few months ago I asked him " why the hell are you still working" 

Well he answered , " what else am I going to do all day"

He runs a huge excavator at a quary unless they need him on roads jobs.  Today the wall of the quarry collapsed dropping rocks the size of pick up trucks on top of him burying him alive .  He was one of the 4 of us that sled together in winters. Im fucking devestated

I’m sorry, Steve. Losing a good friend sucks. 

Horrible.

That's awful ... my condolences, Steve

Some things just aren't right. My condolences.

damn'... sincere condolences to you, your friends and his family.

life is short

Wow... that's rough, really sorry.

But being he never retired, he was doing what he liked to do obviously. 

 I kinda have the same mindset and still regret retiring sometimes. Everytime I see a UPs truck when driving down the road....I say to my wife, "that should be me".... she's tired of hearing it.

Again sorry, that's a brutal way to go.

I'm sorry about your friend.

Sorry for your loss

wow...very sorry for the loss of your friend Steve...terrible...

Just heard the report on the local radio news.
