I have a friend His name is Victor Thay. He is a fund manager at Fidelity in Boston.
He grew up in Canada and he loved hockey. We always talked about the Capitals and Bruins and Alex Ovechkin.
He was interested in investing in Revolution Money. We had several long meetings together. We had several dinners. Then we became friends. He passed on the investment but was very helpful to me none the less. He was just a great guy.
I lost track of him over the last 6 months or so. When I looked at the standings today and saw if the season ended we would play Boston in the playoffs, I dashed him off a note via email. I wanted to trash talk with him and also to invite him to a game with me.
I sent the email; the email bounced right back to me.
I though “hmmm…maybe he left Fidelity?”. So, I Googled his name and this is what came up. My friend Victor Thay passed away. He died at the age of 35 years old. I am stunned. I feel so sad. I didn’t know of his passing and I don’t even know how he died.
Life is short. Play hard. RIP my friend.

regret to learn of this loss. way too young :-[ j
My heart goes out to you and your friend’s family and loved ones. To lose a friend is hard, to lose one so young when there was the expectation of many years of fellowship is so much more shocking.

Teddy, I have a very dear friend who is fighting for her life. She is 50 I am feeling sad about it. It doesn’t make sense. Everyday you have to find The JOY and build on it! So, when BRUCEE put together a strategy to tie up last nights game it took me to a better place. Enjoy the moments and create more! Thanks. Lets Go Caps!
