I'll very much miss him. He was a very smart and compassionate man, and he looked forward to much more in life..
First in the family to graduate from high school?

Neither him, his wife, his siblings, his wife's siblings, his parents and his wife's parents ever graduated from high school?

I lost a friend back when I was a teenager. He was only 17. Terrible car wreck which I had the misfortune to witness the aftermath of. I didn't realize it was his car that was mangled until I got closer. I just arrived minutes after he had crashed, firefighters and police were just getting there. He had gone through the firewall of the car. What helped get through the trauma of this loss was having other mutual friends to grieve with. You never forget the person, I still remember seeing him the day before being his annoying self. He would have definitely been married with kids if he had not died so soon. He was a good kid, just did something stupid that ended up ending his life

I don't know....too bad he's DEAD, or you could ask him yourself.....you'd probably love to come to his funeral this saturday, you would probably have great fun asking all his friends and family if he was a liar or not.

I was asking for clarification. Why do you have to be so rude!

You came across as very insulting and rude toward purehuman's recently deceased friend. The amount of restraint that purehuman has shown is much better than most - why was there any need for clarification (when none was needed - you didn't need to continue questioning) over such a minor detail?

My dad was the first one in his family to graduate from high school. I was the first one to graduate from college on his side, and the 2nd (after my mom) on my mom's side. It's becoming increasingly rare, but not completely abnormal when some high schools have more than a 50% drop out rate.

But, that's in the ghettoes though.

One of the kids in the family that lives 2 doors over from my childhood passed in September 2010, after a freak boat accident. He was 27,soon to be 28. He was a couple of years than me, but we had some good times the first couple of years my family moved in the neighborhood. I didn't see him for a few years, and his sisters weren't really around much. The wake was very sad.

I wasn't being rude, at all...but you sure are being insensitive, and VERY rude...why can't you just stick to the OPs question , or did you come here just to poke fun and deride others, for some kind of kinky pleasure of your own?
