I just barely got to this thread, but my condolences for your loss, Mike. Stay strong. You and KEK will see your brothers again.
 
My brother's last stand.

I'm gonna miss hearing the same jokes over and over again. This was his final performance. I've heard that a lot of comedians suffer from depression and OD.

Also, I wanted to add that if any of you know of someone suffering from addiction, let them know each day that no matter what stupid decisions they make, you love them and they'll always be family or your friend. After reading The book of Lost Things (I highly recommend it) there was a part about compassion towards family members and love I wanted to share with my brother, but I waited too long. I'm just glad he doesn't have to battle his demons any more.
 
My condolences to you both. It's hard losing loved ones, especially in that manner. Keep your heads up and stay strong.

Amen.



BTW I laughed out loud at LeBron's choice of teams (won't say it and spoil it for everyone else) and the related jokes. Good stuff.
 
Very cool(his comedy, not his death).

I had a brother that ODed on purpose when he was serving a mission because he was stressed out and had packed on 20-30 lbs within six months and was very into his body pre-mission and stuff and just felt like his whole life was falling apart. The communication back to our house was really poor so we were led to believe he was dead for a good 2 days or so, and I was like in a trace for those two days. I didn't cry, but it was such a hollow feeling. Luckily, a few days past and we got word that he had his stomach pumped and had taken a non-lethal cocktail of drugs and would be okay. But man, those couple of days were tough. Stay strong, dude.
 
thanks for sharing the video and I hope this will be of some comfort to you Archie, looks like there's a nurturing mother figure helping to guide your brother on his next journey...

and RIP Joyce Sloane, "mother" of Second City who passed away at age 80

https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-joyce-sloane-obit,0,7476082.story

Joyce Sloane, the beloved maternal powerhouse of The Second City, and the woman who found and nurtured such comedy giants as John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Chris Farley and Bill Murray, died Thursday, according to Kelly Leonard, the vice-president of The Second City....

"Everybody who comes to Second City has issues," said Tim Kazurinsky, one of Sloane's charges. "She was the mother to the largest dysfunctional family in the world. Second City was like marine boot-camp, but over in this corner there was little Jewish mother. It's hard to imagine the void."
.....

Sloane was den mother to Chicago actors, comedians and improvisers for nearly a half-century; she regarded the likes of Vardalos, Bonnie Hunt, Tina Fey and countless others as her surrogate daughters.
