To be sure I can see that, but since he used to ride motorcycles I suspect he knew all about balancing risk with having fun. After all, sitting on top of a tank of explosive liquid and hurtling around country lanes is in many people's view very much not a good idea either.

In situations where they know a person is in their final hours some hospitals allow immediate family to be with the patient. I think they learned from the experiences of people who were not allowed to be with loved ones when they died. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old-codger Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 You are correct Mississippi Bullfrog when they said on the local news this morning I thought then it doesnt sound like there is going to be a good outcome. Rest in peace old soldier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Also he lived with his daughter and her family so wasn't a separate household etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
