Goodbye to one of our own

A friend recently informed me of the pointless murder of a good man.

Blair Shannon may not have been a household name but when I was informed by my friend if I knew Blair the first words out of my mouth were, "I haven't seen him a LONG time, he's a really nice guy!"

While I hadn't worked with or seen Blair in several years I remembered him as soon as I heard the name. You usually only remember a person by name that quickly for one of two reasons. The person is an a-hole or, like in the case of Blair, the person left such a positive memorable impression on you that you remember them in a heartbeat.

I remember Blair as being a very positive and very happy guy.

It's a shame that the comedy world has lost one of the really good guys well before his time due to a random act of violence.

Peace be with you my brother.
