I just found out yesterday that my (ex) boss of many years and a very good friend to Al and I has been in a coma for the last few days. We knew he has cancer but were not expecting it to take him so soon. He was getting married in a few days.. Instead they will be burying him.. He was a very awesome man and would do anything for anyone.. He owns a big club in Salt Lake City, Ut called the Club 90..I worked for him for years..

If he hasnt passed yet, he will soon. Could you please send prayers and good wishes to his family? His name is Mike Kampros.. Just found the love of his life and was so happy. Such a sad day for me today.. Thanks guys..

Dear God,

Please be with Beastie's friend as he faces his last days. We ask your love for his family, friends, and all who know him.

Amen

My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family...So sorry to hear about this.

Thanks guys.. It is really appreciated.. He was a very big greek man. Full of love for those who loved him back.. I am so saddened.. I was told just earlier this week the chemo was working well. I guess you just never know. He wasnt a person to complain. He had just called me a few weeks back to invite Al and I to his fiances birthday party.. He will truly be missed by many..

Wow that is rough. How is his fiance holding up? Are you friends with her?

meandthebeast 11/12/2009

I have only met her once.. She and her sister and 4 dogs had just moved in with Mike a few months back.. He had two dogs as well. He was so happy about it.

Oh ouch.

Well I'm not sure about you, but I know for me when I am grieving a loss like this, one of the things that helps me cope is to help those who are having an even harder time out. Maybe you could cook up a casserole to bring over to his fiance, or other family? If you're like me and find that helpful.. not everyone is like that, sometimes people need to concentrate on their own feelings first.
