Where could he have been exposed to asbestos?

I’m asking the same question. Utah has mining communities. Where’d he grow up? What did he do for summer jobs?

I am 62. Everyone I grew up with, within 8 - 10 years of my age was exposed to one degree or another.
Our home had a pot-belly stove, which sat on an asbestos mat, and had asbestos pot holders. The school we went to was built in 1910. It was full of the stuff.

Asbestos was in just about everything back in the day. Vehicle brake lining, ceiling material, flooring, etc. Tuesday, during reflooring at our American Legion post, asbestos was purportedly found. Boy is that going to cost us.
RIP Merlin. Thanks for all the good memories.

I was wondering the same thing; when he was exposed to asbestos. My brother actually died from this disease but he was very much exposed to it the 1950s so that was not surprising. I would think just a casual exposure would be unlikely to cause this disease. Sad news.
