But perished due to “retro” medical care.

He worked outdoors before weather forecasters invented storms!

My Dad had a business, very stressful. He never exercised. Drank beer daily, cocktails on week-ends. Several long nights a year playing high-stakes poker. Smoked cigarettes and cigars. He ate a fat ladened diet, lots of butter and lamb fat. Passed at 97 years old. Mom rarely drank and never smoked. She lived to 99. All my siblings passed; ages 65, 67, 72 and 83…….life’s funny…..

Of course, he died at 45.

“When I was a boy, the Dead Sea was only sick.” – George Burns

Before there was Monkey Pox … there was Planet of the Apes.

I bet he had “hardening of the arteries”!!!!!

My father passed at 45, and here I am staring down 80, and feeling 30, especially in the mind. I eat a lot of fish, but also chicken and red meat. Roll the dice!

And before the discovery of the soybean !
