I was just killing some time online tonight when I Googled the name of a friend who passed away about two years ago just on a whim. He was a well known person to anyone in the business world, President & CEO of a large company involved in a glamour industry, a businessman/celebrity of sorts. If you weren't in the business world, you probably would never have heard of him, but everyone knows the products his company produced. About 5 years older than me, he was a mentor, our families were good friends, and they were also patients of my father.
I clicked on the Wickipedia entry for his name in Google, and it was all downhill from there. Yes, it listed his date of birth, date of death, and all his worldly accomplishments. It had a few snippets about his family too. But so much was missed, so much of what I knew of him.
His wife was a hometown girl from the town we all went to high school in. She used to play at our house as a small child. I don't know how many times my mother recounted the story of the time we were playing in our yard and she crashed through the sliding glass door and cut herself and we had to rush her to the hospital. They were high school sweethearts. They were in love to the end.
I shouldn't have Googled it.
