He they think had a massive heart attack and plowed into a 30 in diameter tree his truck burst in flames and you know what happens then. The monday back at work at the office the second in charge knew it would be a tough day for us and okayed we drive up and see the site where he died. We arrived seen the burnt grass and shattered and melted plastic parts from the truck the tree had already been removed by the DOT. We stood there stunned then erected a cross at the spot of survey stakes and flagging a fitting tribute to a man who lived and breathed surveying during life. We stood there not saying a word till one of the guys said "Well John always liked to smoke." That broke the ice and we talked and told stories we remembered about the man eventually peeled wheels and went back to work. The laughter broke the ice and was just what the doctor ordered.

I agree. Typically there's is a little time before jokes are acceptable.
