PLEASE Drive safe on the roads.
« on: August 08, 2013, 12:06:11 PM »
Ok swaggers,
I am asking everyone to be extra safe on the roads and to be aware of your surroundings.
This morning on his way to work, my Boss had a fatal car accident involving a large truck and has passed away.
He was a fantastic guy and always had nice things to say. He was always there to talk to and always there to support everyone who worked with him.

He drove this road everyday for years at the same times, and although it was confirmed it was not his fault it shows just how quickly things happen.
So please PLEASE be careful and be aware whilst driving.

Cheers

Well said, Evo.

You must be feeling the sudden loss of someone you have known for a fair while, and the knowledge of the changes that necessarily place on the workplace.   

My sympathies for you and the mans family.

Very well said evo, unfortunately those roads out there have way too many accidents like this happen.

Everyone should take care when driving on country roads, never know who or what will be ahead.

Hi Evo
We do not believe in ever losing people, as in our way, if you remember someone, and think of them as well as talk about them fondly, they are not lost, simply gone to their next existence.  We are a spiritual, not religious, people, and believe that the spirit goes to join their Ancestors.
It is still a very sad thing for someone to lose this life in such a way.....our thoughts are with you.
Regards

Sorry to hear Evo. You are right. We need to be vigilant on the roads these days. I myself am on the road for a major part of the day between repair jobs and can understand how silly mistakes can lead to unfortunate incidents. Take care.

Sorry to hear.

 I was just saying to my wife last night that life can change in an instant, and how true it is, as sad as it is.

Thanks guys,
I really do feel for his family at this point. It must be incredibly tough to loose someone so close like that.
It will be interesting to see what the official report says when it comes out to find out what caused the whole lot. After speaking to the local plod, we have a fair idea though.
