I found out yesterday that my close friend and college roommate passed yesterday in a car accident. He was 33 years old and one of the best people I've ever met... i love this guy and my heart is breaking for his wife and parents... James (Bombay) is grieving the loss as well...

he tied my tie at my wedding... His name is Shaun, he's on the right... I love you man... i'll never forget you

    My heart was broken when I heard the news....It was in Las Vegas, while picking up cigars for Robby for a trade we agreed upon, that I learned Shaun and I knew Robby by two different paths. I shared a cigar that day with my dear friend, me-a GOF Carlito 2007 him with an Arturo Fuente Maduro. We sat there with our respective wives sipping cocktails smoking the stogies enjoying some of the stories from our past. I said goodbye to my dear friend a day later promising to meet again in such a nice place. Well...I am sure we will meet again and it will be in an even better place than before. RIP Brother!

    thanks for the support guys... i've never lost anyone so close to me like this before... so suddenly I mean... it's really doing a number on me... but if anyone would ever just "get back to work" after a tragedy, it was Shaun... so, I'm back to work...

    Very sorry for your loss. So young, makes it so much harder to bear. When you can, sit down & think through it, grieve and then think of how fortunate you were to know this person, and remember the happiness, and that it's the happiness that he would have wanted you to dwell on. Stay strong, but let the feelings flow when they need to. Praying for you, and for his family.
