Still nothing on the wire services. Sad, really.

Had a friend (Black guy, about the same age) go the same way about 10 years ago. One minute he was teaching Bible Class at church, the next minute he was on the floor and gone for all intents and purposes. They kept him “alive” for about 12 hours, probably to give the family time to say good bye.

Yes, I called him “black”. If I ever called him “African-American”, he’d probably come back and slap me. He HATED that term, especially since he could trace his family in this country back about 300 years!

He sounds like a real gem of a person. It must have been quite a blow to lose him.
