When Ray McNamara died around a year and a half ago, that made me really upset. Just talking to him on the TSN chat frequently with sab, mike9, and all the guys was enough to really make it feel like it was a friend i had just lost.

Now I don't even know Kyle, i may have not even conversed with him directly over TSN, but man when I found out that he died, it was just a huge shock, for a lack of better words. Not to mention that his brother died with him too, and the fact that Kyle was my age, and his brother right behind him. A family undergoing a loss like this for a son or daughter is an experience that most parents fear the most, but to have both of your sons die together like that is undescribable to say the least, and i mean the least, as words are simply not sufficient to put it in perspective. I think i speak for us all when I say our hearts go out to them, and as well as Kyle and Tim who are hopefully looking down from up above right now.

I have to admit, I am quite guilty of screwing around in my car. While I may not pass 5 cars going extremely fast like that (which in no disrespect WHATSOEVER to Kyle, is just plain reckless and stupid), I am quite often exceeding the limit by 30+ mph, and although I use good judgement (ie. making myself dangerous to only myself by doing so when other cars, people, etc, aren't present) it's really a testament to how things can just go out of control and then it's all over. So what am I saying? lets just remember this kind of stuff and how quickly, unexpectedly, and tragically it can happen, because lets face it, if or when that happens, it affects more people than you would think (just look at Scott's posting and all the replys!!, TSN is somewhat of a family in a sense).

BTW, how about a frontpage dedication on TSN to these two.
