Further update, we just checked with the hospital and Katelyn has been discharged, good news for her.
Drunk driving is all too often lethal
Old fool should be mature enough to know not to drink and drive.
Put him on the ‘okay to eliminate’ on Obama’s death panel.
Rest in Peace, Marine.
I'll guarantee you he's been driving drunk weekly (if not daily) since his last DUI. And I guarantee you there WAS a last DUI.
Broke this ol’Marine’s heart when I read about this.
Prayers for his family and wife...
Absolutely.
This is just breaking my heart....as a mom of 2 Marines I feel like I am a mom to all Marines.....prayers for this family
An update on the tragedy here in Atlanta last Saturday. This old man shouldn’t see the light of day again.
Have to agree with that.......
There is no excuse for drinking and driving in todays world.... none.
I have no empathy for the drunk, regardless of his age.
Frankly, I hope he dies in prison and that he hates every sober second that he’s of what’s left of his worthless life.
That young man should be alive today... may he RIP.
that he’s of what’s left of his worthless life.= of what’s left of his worthless life.
Speaking as an ex-drunk, I agree.
Glad to hear Katelynn got out of the hospital.
I swear the name Bruce Quayle sounds familiar. I remember having a sub teacher at Douglas county who was a Mr. Quayle, and the age would be close, but I’m not positive it’s him.
Dear G-d, a widow at 19. May she find peace.
