[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was a class act. We will miss him![/quote]

He was a cocaine addict years ago;  I believe he was fired for it (rehired afterwards).  [b]Not trying to tarnish his name[/b], this is pretty common knowledge. [/quote]

Yes you are.  Otherwise you would not have said it.[/quote]

No, just pointing out to PP that "class act" and "cocaine addict" are rather opposite terms.  
Glad he was able to overcome his demons and, rather remarkebly, get his job back.  Most aren't that lucky. [/quote]

Life is long, we all contain multitudes. He had a problem that he conquered, and went on to contribute much to the community. Certainly, you would call such a person a class act. You might want to consider how stigmatizing addiction contributes to people not recovering, and being able to contribute to society. A little grace and respect for human dignity goes a long way.[/quote]

Believe me, nothing I say or do prevents an addict from recovering.  Nothing.  Nothing I say or do will cause someone to become an addict.  Read what you wrote; it is a bit ridiculous.  Then read what I wrote.  I commended his ability to get his life back on track. [/quote]
