Wow. Thanks for posting. This board is small enough that - those of us who post way too much - kinda know a lot about each other. I'm only 3 months older than he was, born in 1970 also. Yes, way too young...I'm nowhere near ready to pass on. Sounds like it wasn't something expected (an illness), but either way it's terrible. My dad passed away at 47 from lung cancer and had 2 years to say his goodbyes.
RIP GMD.....
