Fidel Sanchez-Flores told his niece last week to "pray really hard" because he had a feeling that "something is approaching," his family said.

And he was unusually quiet Tuesday night, telling his wife, Vielka Molinar, that he loved her and would keep loving her after death. She said she asked him why he said that. He replied that he didn't know.

She said she felt uneasy on her way to work as a nurse Wednesday morning. Her worries grew when her husband didn't answer his phone that afternoon.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 52-year-old former Marine was clearing away ice and snow when he crashed through the Plexiglas roof of the IDS Center's Crystal Court and fell about three stories to his death.

His daughter, Vielka Sanchez, 25, said Thursday that he had been removing snow from the tiered roof over the building's atrium for the past few days.

"I had spoken to him two nights ago, and asked him, 'Is it safe up there?"' Vielka Sanchez recalled. Her father assured her that he always wore his safety harness, explaining that "to fall from there would be really bad."

I will never forget the time I was pressed against the glass on the observation floor(50) of the IDS and my brother took a running start and smashed me against the glass, full-force! I near soiled myself!
