Divorces at that age are hard.

I think they're hard at any age. It's sad that he was going through this the last few months of his life.

That kind of stuff leads to poor health.

I pegged him as much younger. You can truly mask yourself on boards such as this one.

I don't know why, but it bothered me reading about his beloved wife in the obit.

I caught that too. It actually wasn't wrong. He didn't want the split.

One can be beloved, without being loving in return. I don't recall the circumstances now, but I though she was leaving him, not him leaving her.

I deleted an earlier comment on the chance that his daughter would read it, but I'll go ahead and repeat it. I hope it wasn't suicide on account of his marital issues.

I still have my parents and live for them. If they were gone when my wife left, I am not sure it wouldn't have crept in to my head too. I'd like to think I wouldn't, but who really knows when you are in the moment?

Does anyone know if they divorced, or if they reconciled? I don't think he ever posted again after the thread about the split that was deleted.

Always had the dude pegged as a work hard/play hard type who loved to stir it up and have fun. 55 is too soon. RIP dude.

I assumed that they were still married since the obit didn't say she was his ex wife.

Do you know when it was posted and when it was deleted by chance? The 3rd was a while back.
