a good man who had some bad luck, but also didn't always help his own cause when it came to his health.

but i think we often feel like there are still plenty of tomorrows to take of things

Greg survived a serious motorcycle wreck about 13 years ago, and definitely understood his mortality, just had a hard time coming to terms with it i think

I lost my dad at that age. And my little brother older than that but a complete surprise. It can come totally unexpected, out of the blue. But whether expected or not, it's a loss.

not good.

unfortunately his health issues were more due to his own excesses.

many of us often feel like there's plenty of time to turn things around - not always the case
