Thanks,
It kind of shook me. Snuffed out at 27 yrs old.
As I said, the kid was a good person and a good manager. He was half my age but he had the tools and mindset to be a good manager of people - he had great mindset and potential. He knew how to play both sides of the coin in doing the corporate thing and also in balance the people thing that worked under him. He was ex army where I think he learned how to be stern and yet fair. Wet behind the ears but, in my opinion, was a good manager. As I said, I'd put him in top 5 on my managerial draft card.
He was one of the few that I respected at my Wally World circus.
