alexxxxx Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 very sad story for someone who seems so positive on screen - unfortunately one shared by too many families across the country. cannot imagine what he's gone through - hope he can find some way to heal after such a devastating loss.

Ewe Ram Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I’ve read quite a few of his tweets, that guy is coping with unimaginable pain and trying to fill an impossible hole in his son’s life. Nothing but respect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
