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?

I had that happen. Was working at a job site for a few years. Had a staffer who was started working at the site about the same time I did. Then a few years later. Was going on a trip and the staffer wanted to know about how my trip went.When I got back. But when I got back from the trip. Was informed she had passed. Staffer was younger than me. Cried for a few days.
