I had one a year or so ago that I think is even worse, same thing fella out of our barn more than old enough to retire, plenty of money, still running the road, goes home on the weekend and his wife passes in her sleep. All those travel plans for retirement when he hangs it up down the drain, might as well work himself to death now there is no one at home to share retirement with.

Such is life.
I'll be doing the same and if I die.
I won't know.
Or will I?
Booooohhhhhwwaaaaaa.
He could have stayed and died.
No different.
We had a guy.... If you've heard this already stop me..... Who was gonna retire. Had about six months to go.
He was checking his load before leaving for the city. They found him 2-3 hours after the start of his shift dead in his trailer from. A heart attack. Lift truck was running outside his trailer door on the dock. So much for supers or dispatch checking on dock people or drivers. Nobody gives a :shit:e. Probably thought he was goofing off somewhere.
True story.
