Just learned that a former boss died suddenly today

No details other than his son found him this morning.  Always kept meaning to give him a call, especially after mutual friends said he had been asking about me.  Just never remembered on the weekends until it was too late in the evening...and now it's too late forever.  I'll miss him, as he endured my teasing about my Vols beating his Vandy football teams virtually all the time, or about squirrels.  December is just a cruel month this year, having lost earlier a beloved former teacher of mine and now this :(
