A couple weeks ago I posted a thread about a man's battle with covid. Link below

I figured some of you might want to hear an update.
He seemed to be on the upswing but it was not meant to be.

Well on March 19th his wife said andys eyes got dark and then he just passed away.
He was a good man in every sense of the word.
Nobody ever said life is fair.

His obituary is linked below

Complete stranger to me but you say he was a good person, left a wife and family. May he rest in peace and the ones he left shall find peace, too.

I didn't know him well either.
His wife and mine knew each other much better.

He was a little League umpire working up the ladder to the big show in Pennsylvania. They work for free and provide their own food and hotels.

RIP Andy. Don't know him but it sounds like he was a nice guy from what you have said about him.

I guess it is not an uncommon thing. The ones left behind are the ones to pray for.

Respiratory diseases are leading causes of death and disability in the world. About 65 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 3 million die from it each year, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide.

In the United States, 1.3 million people were diagnosed with pneumonia in an emergency department during 2017. Unfortunately, about 50,000 people die from the disease each year in the United States. Most of the people affected by pneumonia in the United States are adults.

About 5% to 20% of Americans get the flu each year. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized, according to the CDC. And since the 1970s, between 3,000 and 49,000 people have died from the flu each year.

I'm sorry to hear that. Respiratory illnesses are brutal.
