Fine human being? This man wrote a vile, disgusting article about my grandfather upon his suicide. I am appalled that he could display such apathy and evil lack of respect to the family, wife, and two teenage children of my grandfather. My family has never recovered from his death, and the horrible article written by John McAleenan has done nothing but bring pain to his family members left in the aftermath. I only wish he was still here so I could say this to him directly. His lack of respect was astounding, a fine writer you say? I’d call him a horrible coward.
