Got a call Saturday AM.
An old friend of mine, Lee, had a stroke.
I immediately started to drop everything and go to the hospital, but I was told not to bother, he was already too far gone, just a body on a respirator. .
He’s still alive, but as I understand it, not for long.
57 years old (same as me),
A confirmed bachelor with no wife or kids, and the only relative is a sister who lives on the other coast.
We were not close anymore, one of those guys you still see a few times a year. Deer camp, fishing trips, Superbowl party. Back in the day, we did some serious bass fishing, bird hunting and beer drinking.
His sister is flying out Wednesday to make the call (un plug life support).
Another friend and myself have agreed to check on his house several times daily. He lived in a rough part of town, and has had some break-ins. She will need help dealing with his affairs, both of us have volunteered to help. Don't know what else to do.
