I had left an was at my grandmother's house in MS when I got the call he was in the hospital and on his death bed. I drove 20 hrs straight through to get there. After his family arrived from Phoenix, his wife an I made the decision to take him off of life support. I held his hand while he took his last breath. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. That was in 1995. Life sucks sometime!!!
