My brother-in-law (youngest older sis' husband.) Served 1 tour in Vietnam with 300th Trans Co, HQ US Army Support Command Qui Nhon. He had been in the hospital for about 7 1/2 weeks for respiratory problems that he has had for many years. Partially caused by agent orange, partially from his work in a refinery for over 3 decades. Pulmonary fibrosis. He was brought back home Wednsday evening on hospice care and succumbed early Thursday morning.
A picture I took of he and my twin brother in happier times.

Sorry MJ.
If you had to say in three bullets about what his personality was like, what would you say?
He was very good man, worked hard for as long as was able and a heck of a gardener and and expert beekeeper and once had nearly 100 colonies before the Varroa bee mite thing wiped him out in the late 80s early 90s. He raised Dorper sheep, chickens, turkeys, had developed award winning varieties of day lilies, and was a great parent and husband. A nicer and more patriotic American I will never meet.
Congratulations on such good fortune to have had great people in your life for so long, you have been fortunate and it is clear you recognize that. I am sure most of us feel the same way about you, even if it is just the distance that the internet provides. The best we can do is go forward in our best of who we are as tribute the to the best people we have known. You got this, be strong!
