Ever had a colleague you miss even after years have gone by?

Hi all,

Feeling bit nostalgic today. We all have that workplace with people we don't get along with, but has there ever been someone you got along well with?

At my old workplace I had a colleague who was absolutely fantastic. He was supper funny and always made me laugh. He was great to talk to and I always had a good time around him. We worked in different departments so we didn't often bump into each other often (half my time there was lockdown and I worked night shift half the time). Sometimes we'd go out if in a group and it was amazing. I don't think I laughed so much to the point I was in pain for a long time.

He left my old workplace, and I not long after, to go travel in Asia. We managed to catch up twice last year but since then he went back travelling.

I miss him.

Any of you had that before?
