An illness that cannot be named? Must be AIDS.

“An illness that cannot be named? Must be AIDS.”

Or, the family simply does not believe that you need to know.

Even if he’s a married man with 4 children, he may had a secret life.

It's a well-established FR tradition to trash the dead from the anonymity of a keyboard.

I will simply pray for his soul and for his family.

Yes, very sad.

I suspect obits are now going to have to go out of their way to say a death was not COVID-19 related.

The illness was not related to COVID-19, the sources said

Well, that's a first. I'm sure someone will go back and check the "COVID-19" checkbox soon.
