Damn that sucks! Obviously, I offer his friends and family my condolences. You have lost a friend; I have lost a "friend I never met." Did they catch the motorist? Do we know any more, e.g. situation and who was at fault? I have lost a couple of friends this way, and it is doubly painful because it reminds us of our own vulnerability and mortality. The best memorial we can give you friend is to agitate for stricter accountability for motorists and for traffic calming and other safety enhancements on our public roads.
