I dont know the poster and nothing stated he died... just that "he's gone"... is he gone from the hospital to go home? Also that "there is no joke in the post"... true... I dont see any jokes. Not enough detail and I'm not going to jump to conclusions.

I wanted to pick up our conversation from where we left off. Just goes to show how precious and unpredictable life really is. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed. This is unbelievable.
