Why do the good die young?

Writer's blog

Last night I found the obituary of Jeffrey Russian when I searched for him on the internet. He died January 7, 2005, one year ago today at the age of 50 from lung cancer, according to the obituary. He left a wife and a then five year old son named Zachary Ames, both of whom I have never met, behind.

I knew Jeff when we were both in graduate school at UW-Madison. He was one of the nicest guys I have ever met and I am so sad that he died so young and that we didn't keep in touch. I hope some day when he is older his son will search for his father's name on the internet and see what I've posted here and be proud he had such a wonderful dad. I also want Jeff to know he is not forgotten.
