Stop in for a cup of coffee

Sad day up here, one of the guys that works for me passed yesterday. Just a great guy, been with me for five years. Super jolly and quite witty. Folks would come in the lunch room every time he was in just to listen to him “hold court” he was hilarious. My HR guru called and was asking me if I needed grief counseling as it is part of our benefits. I asked if it came with any days off? She was not amused. If she knew him better she would have appreciated the plant floor humor!
Sorry to hear that John. Was he ill long?
