Sincere condolences to friends and family... A sad waste of life. In this day and age, 60 really is too young to go. That's right at the time of your life when, if you're still working, you have all your skills well refined, the experience to back you up, etc. Such a terrible thing to happen, hope his family are coping in this difficult time.
