So sorry to hear this. Keeping him and the family in my prayers...
Yes. They couldn’t get the loan for the expansion they wanted to do, so they let him go with 3 weeks severance.
It wouldn’t be so bad except he had to have this surgery. He had been putting it off for some time, but his condition worsened and the doc told him he HAD to do it or risk serious complications.
He has several possibilities lined up after he recuperates.
Life isn’t easy, as we all know.
