I didn’t know this guy, but I did drive by his shop every day on my way to and from work (until a couple of weeks ago when I moved):

A Clendenin area man known for his special-themed, custom-made motorcycles shot and killed his wife and then himself Monday night, while his son was in the house.

Robert L. “Bear” Parsons Jr., 43, and Sarah A. Parsons, 27, were found dead of gunshot wounds in their Cromwell Estates house at 118 Spencer Road, Robert Parsons’ business partner and friend, Gale Hershberger, said outside the residence late Monday.

I know these sorts of things happen far too often in our society, but to have it happen that close to home just kind of unnerves me.
