He died in a fall (off a roof?)

Q: What was his first name?
Very good. Yes, while retrieving a wrench from the trailer roof he fell from the ladder and broke his neck. They believe lightning startled him.

His name was Lance.

Q: What is Peter's brother's name in Eyes of the Dragon?

Thomas..

Q:What state was the prep school in that Jack Torrance was canned from and had to leave after assaulting a student?
Yes, that's right.

Hmmm, I want to say it was in Vermont. Not 100 percent. I do remember he assaulted the student that stuttered.

Q: In Skeleton Crew what is the title of the story about a band hired to play for a mobster's obese sister?

Yeah, Stovington (I think that's a fictional town). Didn't Al Shockley, Jack's friend who helped secure his job at the Overlook, live and work in Vermont? I guess I could read the book again. I'd like to read again Insomnia, 11/22/63, Desperation, and The Talisman.
Sure, look in your copy. :)

Yeah,if you recall,Jack and Al were both teachers at the fictional school,and shared a midnight drunken escapade(which if I recall correctly,was based on an incident SK had when he was a student,driving around and stealing flashing road barriers while hammered).Al got him the job after Jack went after the kid slicing his tires..Yeah,I just finished Insomnia again last month,one of my favorites,Ralph Roberts was a righteous dude..

That's right. And while with Al, both inebriated, Jack fears he may have hit a person on a bicycle but only the bike is recovered.
I liked Insomnia because it feels so closely linked to IT and The Dark Tower. My memory fades when it comes to the end. That's a good thing since I want to reread it. Maybe a fellow member has a copy they want to get rid of or trade. I may go buy it when I go get Finders Keepers.

You need to keep reading! So much more happens.
I read it when it was first released. Started rereading because I'm always looking for SK books my mom might enjoy. I seem to block out a lot of the "animal stuff" and my mom really flipped out when she read Duma Key. (I completely spaced that scene out!) So when I got to that part in NT, I quit and moved to another book. :)
