Yeah, my Dad was found in about the same way as Boyd back in 2000. I had the unhappy job of calling all his friends up in his address book and telling them the news. It was hard, I had to take a lot of breaks and such. However when the time came for the funeral I was very honestly touched by the number of people who travelled to come out and pay respects to my dad and our family. Some of these people I knew from a very young age and had almost forgotten. Many of them I never knew at all. Still for a guy who felt so lonely, and he did, he really wasn't that alone at all. It's a good reminder for the rest of us I suppose. Dave
