    I retired earlier this year, almost a decade earlier than I thought I could.
    I'm not in touch with the Wife as She is at work, I'm really considering what we can do to help. Who can take in five kids?

    So I'm guessing you are mid to late 50's. I don't know your family or housing situation, or what other relatives you have, but really the closest relative to the deceased who is kid-friendly and competent is the person who should take them in, if at all possible. It's hard to imagine childhood being wrecked more than by having both parents suddenly killed, and the kids will need the greatest stability and continuation of family life that they can get.

    I know I have strong words on this but I have lived through almost the same thing - only difference is my wife and her brother were already in college, although brother was only 19. They were fortunate to have a lot of local relatives who could support them - more in family and emotional ways than money - so there was no issue of guardianship or homelessness. Still a very rough time.

    Let's use the First Amendment to protect the Second so we can avoid using the Second to protect the First.

    Horrible news... Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Makes me ill.

    I also have no use for pricks that drink and drive or a-holes who text and drive.

    Who do they think they are to put my life and that of my family in danger? So selfish and irresponsible.

    I'm waiting for the Wife to get off work.
    My less than logical reaction is to sell some properties and buy a larger home and go back to work.
    Man it's gotta suck to be those kids.

    One assholes bad decision has directly wrecked the lives of seven people. If this guy has Liability insurance than here is hoping he gets taken for all he is worth.
