Over the last few days I’ve had delivered to me two sober reminders of our own mortality.
On Friday, Felipe Gaucho passed away suddenly. I am stunned and shocked. Felipe was a great guy, liked by all. In fact, I was exchanging emails with him just a few days ago about some of his upcoming plans. My condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be missed.
And a few days earlier another friend of mine passed away as well, just as suddenly, at an unlikely age.
Technology, work, and competition is fun and tends to consume our days. But in the end it is always about people, relationships, and life. Let’s not forget.

After suffering two miscarriages over the last year, my wife has also been hit with the sudden and tragic lost of her uncle and her grandfather in the last three weeks.
The only thing that I keep thinking is I hope I have as much positive effect on as many people as these people have.
We should all be so fortunate that our passing go so highly noticed and for such honorable reasons and that we should continue to be remember for it.
The greatest honor that any of us can pay any individual, is to continue to live our lives to the fullest and use what these people have taught and left us to not only make our own lives better, but the lives of as many others we can.
From what little I’ve read, I believe Felipe live a worth while live and while we will miss his presence, we are richer people for it.
