I had heard that he had committed suicide... I had not know the details

I did not know him well
we went to the same high school
it was seldom that we encountered each other
no classes together in my four years of high school

but... I knew who he was
we shared a few mutual friends
durning college I think that we may have gotten together for beers with one of those mutual friends
one memory of too much to drink at his parent house down by the bay

a nice guy
did not know him well but he seemed genuine and true
smart and athletic
and yes... handsome... Ed Harris handsome

sad.
