Epic bummer is right.
I met Scooby about three years ago at a party at former co-worker's house. Great guy. We hit it off talking about basketball. He was a Pistons fan, I was a Cavs fan. This was in the LeBron Cleveland era. Scooby and I got a little rivalry going, exchanged contact info, and we texted each other a couple times that year when the Pistons played the Cavs.
When LeBron ditched Cleveland, I heard from Scooby. We hadn't texted each other in over a year. The text is still on my phone. "Hey man, this is Scooby from 101.1, the die-hard Pistons fan you met at Inga's. How are you dealing with this LeBron treachery?"
I gave him the standard Cavs-fan rant, and he commiserated with me. "I think so too," he texted. "It's a cowardly way out. He may get a ring but is the value really going to be the same?"
I thought it was so cool that well over a year after meeting me at a party and sharing a text or two, he still remembered and thought to check in with me.
My condolences to his family, and his 101.1 family.
And to Scooby: I put you in my iPhone contact list as "Scooby Detroit." And I'm going to keep you in there. I may not get any more texts from you, and LeBron may be tearing it up with the Heat now. But everytime the Pistons play the Cavs, I'm going to think of you.
