JamieOber Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I heard about this earlier tonight and was shocked. I got along very well with him when I worked there.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Fell from his roof while taking down Christmas lights. http://www.statecoll...cident-1032822/ it's heartbreaking how tragic this is. Puts all of our lives into perspective. We may argue and criticize, but in the end, weather is just the weather. I will always remember watching Ken and JB debate the weather on point counterpoint and how they used to make the over-under bets. JB must be absolutely devestated.

The phrase "live every day like it's your last" came to mind. I'm sure this is shocking to everyone who knew him. Young people die tragically everyday, unfortunately it's a very difficult part of this life we live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That is incredibly sobering... You could build up your whole life, and something so simple like a Sunday task of taking down the Christmas lights can be the last thing you do. Deepest condolences to his family.

buckeye Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I was wondering if he had been sick, but I see it was an accident. He looks so different than he did back in those point-counterpoint vids with JB a few years back. Like he had aged really quickly. R.I.P. way too young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
