just want you all to know,brother bill passed on wed early am sometime, his lungs let go and his ex and son found him dead on the floor,bled all over,they said it was awful,he passed while they were sleeping in other rooms,so sad,dr said on arrival at house even if they had heard him they probably couldn't have saved him due to lung burst from cancer in both lungs,the best thing is no long time suffering, 7 of us brothers and sisters,same parents,very hard on us,7 left now.just want to thank you all for prayers,I threw away my pipes today and didn't smoke yesterday wondering what brother bill would want,I know he would say quit and try to last long enough to see your kids and grandkids grow up. Well,my wife and dog is really glad I quit,I have a wolf dog and she runs as soon as i used to light up,their noses are more sensitive to pet dogs and smoke makes her sneeze also. love all you guys. my brother bob is having flowers made upp for all of us since we live out of state,patriots football and boston red sox baseball all done with flowers from my boys and his 2 boys. see ya all later.

truely sorry for your loss. my deepest condolances to you and your extended family.

thanks,I wasn't going to get that far into it,but boy I see how hard it is on us,my boys,my grandkids,,my wife,wow,its hitting us really hard,he was only 53, I just wanted to stress that smoking bit,noe I know what that young girl or boy really was saying in those cancer commercials,daddy or momma,we want you to live. I loved my pipe almost as much as my wife and trucks and motorcycle,but the pipes are in the dumpster waiting to go to the landfill.you all take care out there. going out to wisconsin next week. be glad to be busy again.

Sorry to hear that, Buck. My grandpa died of lung cancer and my grandma said it was horrible to see. AND, he had quit smoking for over 15 years when it hit him. Its hard, no doubt, you have my condolences, be well.
