I'm sorry to hear about him as well. I hope he will get through this. I will send a contribution as well. If any red passes (buddy passes) for his family to fly and see him are in desperate need (MHT maybe??), PM me, I will try to get one.

May I ask what multi-billion dollar FedEx has done to help? It would say a lot for the company to throw him 50% of his first year salary for the next year or something. I mean how often does something like this happen. Silly of me to expect big business to help out a family in need, it's too hard to see past the millions they are raking in.

My condolences to both families.

God bless.
