The Bird died about 7 years ago (?)........

He was working on his car in his garage, it was up on blocks and fell on him while he was under it.

A story book tale that ended with a nightmare.

Fydrich retired to hobby farm back east, where he died...tragically.
As he was attempting to fix the PTO on his tractor (”on-the-fly”) his flannel shirt got caught in the knuckle-joint and spun him up into a tight bundle.
Household members went searching for him hours later when he didn’t come in for dinner.
