for a family I don't know

I walk to a sad situation, but an okay place. I shall visit a twice co-worker who attempted a very violent suicide. He has a very young family. I never disclosed to anyone at work that I found him one night drinking on the job. He had poured a pitcher of beer or taken one back from a table and was drinking in a closet. He quit within a week. He restarted a few months later, but within a month -- his story as to why he had to leave and not return on one night didn't bear out. He was therefore let go.

He seemed a stressed, but good man. I never saw how consumed he was. The visiting hours are short, but I'll let him know that many of his fellow workers think of him. As he is from my work town, most will not make it here to see him.
