One of my son's closest High School friends, and for that matter one of my close friends as well.. passed away last night. Larry Brooks was 28 years old.
He was a bright young man working on his Phd in History at Sacramento State University. He stopped in at our home nearly every night. We would talk history, watch the history channel and other generally geeky things.
Unfortunately he had issues with prescription medications, and had been in rehab several times. He died in his sleep after taking sleeping medication. Larry will be missed by my entire family.
