Ever had a coworker pass away?

I worked for 20 years at a major TV network, and in that time, I knew about a dozen people who passed, including a former boss, and one customer service person who actually died at her desk during the workday.

Earlier this week, a former co-worker, who had been there for 40 years and won several Emmys, died just short of his 67th birthday in May, when he would have retired. That was really sad.
They gave him a nice shout-out on a sports show last week.

It's so difficult to lose someone you worked with. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, a supervisor died of Parkinsons disease. Was sad thing just watching. Eventually he was forced to retire, yet he had already lost everything in a divorce.

Only lasted a year after he retired.

@DeWayfarer That's sad. I didn't know Parkinson's could kill. I thought it only affects motion & speech.

@SW-User it effects your nervous system. Just about everything it effects. Including your heart and other organs.
