‘Gondo’ apparently died of complications from a heart transplant

Glen Gondrezick, the UNLV basketball Hall of Famer who received a heart transplant in September, died today at St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson, apparently as a result of complications due to the surgery.
He was 53.
I remember vividly when he Knicks drafted Gondo and how he was an energetic forward/guard for two seasons. The Knicks used to practice at my college Pace University downtown and I ran into him a few times. He was a hell of a nice guy.
You really start to get scared when guys your age start to drop like flies.

You really start to get scared when guys your age start to drop like flies.Actually, I get encouraged, because I move up one spot in line.

Pink Floyd:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
...yeah, that line...
I think Pink Floyd's pretty far ahead in that line too!
