re: RIP - Joe Dean Jr

72, while not old by today’s standards, is still getting on up there, especially if you don’t take the best care of yourself. Not saying that about him bait in general. But I think there was a poster above who noted he had been ill for a couple of years.

72 gets younger as you get older.

I remember my 80 something grandfather....

Every time I went to see him in his small town he would tell us who had died.

A lot of times he would say "He was just a young guy... He was only 75"... which to a HS student like me... seemed strange.

Sadly, it doesn't seem so strange 50 years later.
