Excerpt:
'Last time I saw him'I feel for them. What gets me is the kids though. To leave a pair of young teens without a father...must have been some real demons going in that head. I'll leave the BP politics out of it. That's a whole different thread.
Wednesday morning, Kruse rose first and dressed. Tracy got up for a few minutes, meeting her husband in the kitchen.
"He was just standing there, bent over the counter with his face in his hands," she said. "He was just leaning on the counter, and I could see the wheels of worry turning in his head."
Tracy said little, then returned to bed to catch up on sleep. Minutes later, her husband was at her bedside.
"He was just patting my head, and he said, 'I'm about to leave,' and then Allen said, 'It's just all madness, Tracy.'"
Those were the last words she'd hear him say.
"I told him everything would be all right. I said, 'Don't worry, Allen. It will all work out, honey.' "
Kruse kissed his wife, looked in on the boys, and climbed into his Ford F-250.
"That was the last time I saw him," she said.
She had no thought that he would take his own life.
