He had childhood diabetes, and yes it eventually killed his kidneys and his eyes. Also, his whole family is affected by cardiomyopia (sp?), a congenital congestive heart disease. He sufferred a ruptured aorta during a stent operation and died on the OR table.
He had a lot of medical strikes against him, and he just was a walking miracle to his family and friends. I Still miss the big fella. *Just D*mn*
my goodness :(
