A Tough Local Accident Death

#1 Post by Spock » Tue Feb 25, 2020 3:02 pm

They don't get much tougher than this.

In 2016, I posted of the accident death of Pat Anderson-A local farmer and the athletic director of the local school district. He left a wife and 3 children-age 13 to 18. The local community was pretty gobsmacked by that one as everybody knew and liked him.

Friday night, the oldest son, Ben, drowned in a snowmobile accident. Words can't describe.

Li'l Spock is heartbroken as they were best friends throughout school. While they attend the same college, they have grown apart some as Ben was more into the partying scene than Li'l Spock is, but still.

Nathan (Li'l Spock) posted this pic on his facebook and said it had always reminded him of the day they met in Kindergarten. He had met somebody who liked tractors as much as he had.

That photo is adorable! Makes you wonder how much one family can bear. So sorry for your son's loss of a childhood friend.

I have no idea how I missed this.

I am so very sorry to read this. Please give Lil Nathan a big hug for me.

Many many prayers for the family and friends
