Calgary Triple Homicide
Maybe I'm making a mistake posting this, I don't know, but suddenly I'm a bit shattered.
The recent Calgary Triple homicide has had a close impact to me, one of the victims Al Pennylegion was a long time coach in the Calgary Minor Football scene and I had the privileged of coaching with him with the Cowboys for a few years, after he left the organization I would go to minor football games and sit with him and chat. He was a great coach, a good man, and a good dad, he always had a smile on his face and a laugh and these awful jokes.
I won't say that I was a super close friend, but I really liked him, and got along with him well. I loved running into him in the handshake line when I coached against his teams (He was Cowboys Navy, I was Cowboys Gray).
He always was really positive with the kids and the coaches, when he talked bout his boy, he was always so proud, thank god his son wasn't in this mess.
I was set to leave for our first practice of the season tonight, and I was charged up and ready to go, and now I just feel empty.
Rest in Peace Al. I'm blundering on here, I don't know what else to say

You know your first instinct on this is to call your friends or someone close to you. But I don't know who knows on the friends side, so I'm going to wait. I called my dad and I didn't know what to say.
Its one thing for a friend to die of cancer, or some horrible disease, or even be hit by a car, but this is so different, he didn't deserve it, and neither did the other victims

Sorry for your loss CC.
I have a rental unit in the building where the young lady was murdered.
Tragic stuff.

Take care of yourself, CC. If you need to talk, the Distress Centre is not just for folks who are feeling suicidal. It's for anyone who needs someone to listen.

I think its more appropriate even if this thread goes away that there's something here that talks about Al and his Wife.
