the manager of the bar/restaurant that I frequent.
Really nice guy. with kids. Finished his shift and hung around last night drinking. He was shitfaced. I asked if he was driving and he said he was sleeping on the couch in his office. I left around 10 PM.
This afternoon I stop in for a cold one after work, and everyone is quiet and somber. The bartender comes over looking horrible (and she's a hottie) and says "Will...did you hear?"
She was working last night when he and I were on adjoining barstools. She says that when they were closing at 2:45, they turned around and he was gone. She said that she kept trying his cell and he didn't answer. When her phone rang early this morning, she said she didn't want to answer because she had a feeling it was bad news.
42 years old. Kids.
****.
the only good news...it was a single-car accident. He didn't hurt anyone else.
