5. I agree, it seems that people I remember from my youth are dying off.

I read that he had a massive heart attack. He's only a few years older than me.

I feel bad for his partner and his family, he was way to young to die.

6. That is too young

Damn. That's too early to die (says the man at 55 looking ahead).

This is the one thing I hate about aging: Watching all these people who entertained me die. I suppose life can be pretty damned lonely if you reach 100.

7. That reminds me of a line from the last Indiana Jones movie.

That reminds me of a line from the last Indiana Jones movie.

Indy is talking about missing his dad and Marcus and the dean said, "We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away."

You're right, as I get older, people I've know forever are dying, friends parents are gone, mine are gone, a friend's brother is gone, it sucks.
