Yes, I knew him. And if I hadn't known that he was married for 60+ years before
his wife died I'd have judged him to be in his late 60s. Still living
independently, travelling to Florida for the winter every year, etc. Just goes
to show how fragile the humern body can be. At that he hung on for a month
after having been brought back from dead on the first day after the fall. I
think his kidneys finally gave out.

I saw Jim in a suit for the first time since I've known him - heck, he got
married in Levis and a knit shirt. Started to ask "Who died?" but managed to
bite it off before I made a complete boor and ass of myself. Phew!! Sometimes
things pop out my mouth that, if I had given a nano-second's thought should
have died as the un-thought was forming. Fortunately this was not one of those
times.   Bv/=
