Rest in Peace. (I couldn't bring myself to write "Live long and prosper.")

I didn't know he smoked. That's what I heard--tobacco-related lung disease. So that's either cancer or COPD. He's gone to join Dr. McCoy and Scotty up there.

Apparently he did smoke (quit 30 years ago), and I can tell you from watching both parents die within a couple months of each other from COPD, it is a terrible way to go.
He had a remarkable life, and was loved by so many.

Yeah, I know. My mom smoked for 55 years, had COPD, and it prevented her from having surgery to repair her two abdominal aortic aneurysms. If you have COPD and are put under general anesthesia, you're not going to wake up. Stents didn't help her case, either. She was told there was a doctor in Chicago who could've helped her, but when they sent her CT scans to him, he said even he couldn't help. The aneurysm next to her heart ruptured, and that was it.
