It's not like I took time off work and sulked in my room for days, but shit, you feel "a bit sad," play some tunes/watch some games/laugh at some shows and remember them fondly. It's not that hard a concept to grasp.adkm1979 wrote:@MattyJ: Â He didn't know him, he was old, everything that formed those memories didn't die with him.
