I'm sorry you lost your friend. I know that it is hard to lose someone you love.

I'm 61 and didn't really want to live to be 60 either, but here I am still hanging aroung. My number hasn't been called yet. Just hope I go before I can't take care of myself.

I wouldn't worry about being insensitive, I'm sure your friend understood where you were coming from and understood what you meant without causing him distress. Best wishes.
