Never really know what to say during a moment like this. From my own experiences I can empathize. Such a shame.

Man, what can you say? Is there a fund or something set up for his family, kids' education? I think there might be some folks that would certainly reach out and show some support to one of our own. We are right there with you, B.

That's tough news, even for me. It's like CC isn't the same person anymore My condolences to you chef, and for Bobby, he now joins the ranks of many great chefs who came before him.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Of course I too wish I had the right words, but since there are none, I will instead send my condolences and regards to his family and to you Brad. L'Chayim.....

My condolences Cape Chef, seems we're all losing friends. My neighbor of 20 years has passed last night. Giovani, almost 92, the best neighbor anyone could have asked for. I last saw him being taken away by ambulance about a week ago when I helped him up after falling down a set of stairs.
