But to say that his chats were always friendly is doing the man a great disservice lol . Lee had very strong opinions about things and did not accept any criticism of his views kindly . He at least once threatened me with personal harm on this forum. But after that he apologized and had me to his place for supper. And we had a very pleasant evening together . I think either his diseases [ which were very bad ] or the medications he took for them caused him personality changes on occasion. RIP Lee 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cookie47 641 Posted February 28 Yes, that was also what Paul had. Lee lasted six months after diagnoses, and Paul only lasted a few weeks.Its apparently called the silent killer.My SIL in Australia (Filipina) died within three weeks of diagnosis.Even with excellent health care the doctors were unsure at first what the problem was. I know this seems strange but its true. Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
