My older Cousin who served in the Army & Retired as a body & paint man got diabetes from the lack filtration in the old days (he is about 60). The dialisis quit working after 15 years. Called him & he has 10 days to live... has the hospice at his home now. In a matter of days, he will slip into a Coma & pass on. I have never had to talk to a friend that has 10 days or less to live... knowing it would be my last phone call him. That was hard!! Damn, I could barely keep it together the whole time. He's got three kids & a wife too. Told him that I would miss him & that we will see each other on the other side. Really makes me think about life... my priorities, what really matters. Anyways, thanks for letting me metion this great guy Larry Towne & I thought it would be appropriate to post this since he served our country. Say a prayer for him if you have time.
