AN ANGEL GETS HIS WINGS

Yesterday, Eddie Angel killed himself.  Jumped off a bridge.  Snags told me the news.  "You're kidding," I said.

Its what everyone says.

I've known Eddie for twenty years, but I guess I never really knew him at all.  We worked the same parking lots and corners for all that time.  I've probably said, "What's up?" to him more times than most people I know, but we never talked about anything of substance, anything outside work.  I just found out he had a sister.

I do not know why Eddie chose to end his life, but I do know this...Eddie Angel loved The Beatles.

Rest in peace, Eddie.  We miss you, already.
