    I've seen a picture of him looking at his son, and I've never seen a face express more love and joy. When I heard of his son's passing all I could think was, this man must be completely devastated. My prayers are with him.

    Wow, Dan S. What kind of jerk would even think of saying something so callous and mean regarding the death of someone's child?!? Obviously you don't have children, at least I hope not. Get real. I hope you would never ever experience that kind of pain. Stop being such a jerk and do some good in this world instead.
