Sometimes old guys just die.
For a 79 year old chubby male smoker, he did pretty well vs. the life expectancy curve.
Any one of us could drop over dead tomorrow. You don’t have to be 79. I was at a meeting of the 8th Air Force Association in Portland Oregon yesterday. There were a dozen there who were over 90 and almost all of them were smokers at one time or another. Most of them drove themselves.
Overnight with no witnesses. Wonder what the death certificate says?
