  1. " Can you tell me what direction am i going in, up or down?"  I had respect for this guy. I did not agree with all he had to say, but he never held back. He said what he wanted to say!. `I would like to know where he ended up. He did not believe in a "higher being".

  5. His last words weren't "Oh God".  Maybe, "To whom it may concern".
