I kind of had this happen recently. One of the sailors I was assigned to my last command with got out a few months after I did, I never heard from him but had always wandered what happened to him. I found out on March 15 that on Feb 21 he had committed suicide by hanging. I didnt think I would be that up set, but the more i thought about him the more upset I had gotten. We had some really good times on the shore leave times we had with the division, he was always a lively guy, always looked at the good in everything. It actually effected me in a way that I cant explain. In your situation I think I would want to know. Since losing one of my sailors, ive been doing all I can to get back in touch with a lot of them that ive lost touch with.
