This is the suicide I mentioned over the weekend.  He was 2nd gen Rock Med.  I knew his mom very well as she was one of the people who helped build the small show model with me - those Warfield daze when I used to work at AFS.  So many shows, so blurry.  I didn't know Justin that well.  He was a cool doc, always came in with an entourage of interns, nursing & med students, often wore flip flops.  His mom moved to CT and I can't remember when I last saw either of them.  But it was such a shocker.  He shot himself.  He got married recently, some sort of secret elopement, and then she dumped him.  So tragic.  I'm still in denial.
