Sorry to hear this.
My thoughts are with his family.

As someone who recently lost a parent I offer my sympathy. I can't imagine the shock he is going through. When my dad died last month at 75 it was not a total shock because he had been so ill, but this has got to be so devastating to Jeff because of it's suddeness. My prayers and thoughts go out to him and his family. I have always heard such good things about his parents.

A great loss for the Capitals' organization, as well.

Deepest condolences to their remaining family, and their friends.

While attending Caps games,here in Fla,I have had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Halpern's parents. If anyone wants to start a thread for the Halpern family, I would be more than happy to send it on to them.

   Interesting that the news coverage of this accident never mentioned anything about who was in the car involved.
