Sadness

So, I walk into work this morning and I have an email from a former co-worker in my old office in Dover stating a guy who was a temp there died on Sunday.

The first day Tom started at work, we called him Ground Hog. I can't remember if he was called ground hog because he kept walking by (over and over again, like we were experiencing GROUND HOG DAY, the movie or because when he would get lost he would pop his head up and look like a ground hog sticking out of a hole - I think it was because of the movie)

So, since I am single girl who likes to chat up the guys - I started talking to him, emailing him through out the day and just being chatty. I invited him to my bon voyage party - he didn't show- but he also carried my stuff out to the car for me on my last day - and we emailed a few times after that.

About a week ago after I got out of training, I tried emailing him and it got sent back - I guess his temp job was over and he got a new job - and now this... I am deeply saddened as he was a nice, well rounded, 29 year old man - who died suddenly.
