sure Mike, thanks for sharing you insights about it. My wife feels like you, and I think most others.
Since I'm in a confessional mode, and perhaps can gain some insight from others, I am just so aware of what is involved in running a business, raising a family, seeing how hard my employees work to take care of their families, and seeing what's involved in keeping food on the table, and cellular phone bills paid that my heart just does not go out much in this situation. On the other hand, although not first hand, I think I have an understanding of just how deep depression can be. So, yes, I am very sympathetic to that. Probably I'm digging myself in a deeper and deeper hole here. (-: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Well Steve, all suicide is tragic. However, Williams was appreciated by millions, for something we'll never get to see anymore of, his special sense of humor. Kind of like the idea that he was frequently *stuck* in that persona. That guy brought a lot of joy to people's lives. On Monday, August 11, 2014 8:15 PM, "emilymaenot@... [FairfieldLife]" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Ahhh Steve. Never mind. I wasn't implying you were heartless, just stuck in your head is all. He just died today afterall. Of course his suicide isn't any more tragic than anyone else's - I didn't imply that at all.

That's how I see it. Sorry if you see it has heartless. Is his suicide any more tragic than anyone elses? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dmevans365@...> wrote : Jesus Christ Steve! Get out of your head and into your heart. He was a father of three, he was beloved by so many, he did shows for the troops, etc. That first line of yours is a non-starter. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote : I am sorry for him, but I have to say, I never really cared for him. Here is why. He never seemed to break from his "crazy" person persona. I sometimes saw interviews with him, and I would have liked to see what he was under that personna. Sometimes he would get straight for an instant, and then it was right back to the crazy person role. Did anyone else feel that way? Or maybe I just didn't know enough about him. Reflecting further, and I hope I don't get slammed for this, but you sometimes hear about overweight people, and maybe especially overweight women, assuming the "jolly jester" persona. I always thought that was sad, and obviously masking unhappiness. I got the same impression from Robin Williams. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Tragic loss.
