So yesterday was a pretty emotional day. Started out frustrating but I got over it. Then on the way to the store with Shaun, there was a motorcycle accident we had to go around. It looked bad. The cyclist was still alive though. However, later that night, I found out that they cyclist is the uncle of a friend from high school. Put that image into a whole new, scary meaning. Even before I knew someone who was related to the cyclist, I began crying and told Shaun to PLEASE not get a motorcycle. He has wanted one for so long, but I have never liked them. I always thought they were too dangerous. I've known people to get killed from motorcycle accidents or become badly wounded. Then I've known a few that could get up and walk away from an accident. I just don't like motorcycles.
About an hour or two later, I kind of forgot about the accident. Then I got a phone call.
The co-owner of the company I work for called me on a Sunday afternoon. He isn't super involved with what our company does because he is not in the mental health field. He is a business man. I found it odd that he would call me. He started out with, " I have bad news for you." Never a good thing. My first thought was 'Am I losing my job?' No. He continued. "(Your Boss) was on vacation with his son. They were involved in a tragic accident, and they died."
Wait. My boss died?!
The co-owner didn't have very many details. He told me that my boss and his son had been missing for a couple days and were found dead. I immediately started crying.
I've only worked at this company for just over a year. I was not real close with my boss, but he was still a nice guy and always pushed me to be better and to help when I needed assistance.
I have been continuously searching Google for news reports or obituaries since I found out. Well, today a story came out of The Salt Lake Tribune. Apparently my boss and his son were found on Saturday, after being dead for a few days. The article said that my boss lived in Pennsylvania. Wrong. He lives in Indiana. Ok, maybe he is FROM Pennsylvania, that I don't know, but I do know he certainly doesn't live there now. The article continued on to say that they are suspecting a double suicide or a homicide-suicide. Wait, what?! That doesn't make sense. AT ALL. The sheriff is convinced that they were the only two people there and not a third person. How are they convinced? Nothing makes sense.
Nothing.
The article has been updated since I started this blog. The home states have been removed from the article. I still want to hear from other sources. I don't agree with this article. Maybe I don't WANT to agree with it. Either way, it is a sad, sad situation.
