Sorry to hear that Dale. One just never knows. 40 or so years ago old Ernie had a sale not far from here. Sat**day was his auction, and everything was sold and gone... wife got up Sunday morning and made a pot of coffee and Ernie came down and got a cup and sat down at the table and wife was making breakfast and asked him something and he didn't answer. She turned around and he was already dead. Maybe he shouldn't have quit so suddenly.

The only comfort is knowing his wife won’t have to deal with selling everything on her own. And taking comfort in knowing what the equipment brought before you die.

My parents next door neighbor had helped plan his late dad's sale. Same situation as JC's friend, he was sitting at the table, eating breakfast, had a heart attack and died. His wife was upset but not as much as might be expected. He was a wife beater and there were rumors that she had tried to hire someone to take him out. Natural causes did it for her. The sale went on as planed. He was one of those people that treated people he liked really well, but if he didn't like you.... The funeral was probably the largest one I've attended, I ended up sitting next to one of his distant cousins, also a classmate of mine. He looked around the church and quietly said "I wonder how many are here just to make sure he is really dead?" I was trying really hard to not laugh too loudly.

Sorry to hear that, Dale. Sad that he didn't get to enjoy retirement. Sometimes an early passing is a blessing rather than spending years in a nursing home on down the road. I have a good friend that has dementia and it is quite a strain on him, and his family also.

I've been selling off stuff so the wife don't have to deal with it. I'm figuring it's only a matter of time. Next on the list is the D17.
