Tho not an actual family member, [View all]

a good friend of my son-in-law's family passed away early today, due to corona virus.

I never met the gentleman, but he was a family and community stalwart, a great friend, I'm told, likely around 40+ years old, served in some kind of public-safety role in Maryland (south of DC.)

He had been hospitalized for a few days, appeared to do 'well' for a couple of days, and this happened, suddenly.

The family is in shock. I'm home alone, and all I can do is sympathize.
