Sure does. Dealing with health issues seems to dominate one’s life after reaching age 50. I’m 57 and my mother died of Dementia/Alzheimers five years ago at age 88. She was the only person I’ve ever known, personally, with dementia.

Always fondly recall watching David as Keith Partridge, with his stepmother, Shirley Jones, on the Partridge Family.
He was a teen idol and it’s hard to imagine such an early impending death.
I did catch a few minutes of him on with Dr. Phil a few months back and he was obviously struggling.

Prayers to all his loved ones and hope he doesn’t linger and suffer too much longer.

It shouldn’t be that way.

I absolutely loved my fifties-——most of my generation did. Family raised,time for travel and fun.
