Dead Painters Aren't Much Fun

[johnraptor]

A couple weeks ago, we got a few quotes on painting the interior of our new house. Today, I called back the painter who's quote we liked best, only to find out that he passed away just yesterday. What's worse, it was the painter's retired father who answered the phone and had to give me the news. Awkward!

geez how sad :/ something similar to that happened to my sister recently. She had called her new church to say thanks to the gentleman who gave her a tour of the school and church only to find that he had died a few days prior..he was 50 years old...she had no idea what to say

Existential kick in the pants! Wow. Was he very old or sickly?

No, he was middle aged and didn't seem in bad health.
