So go to the damned dentist! Just sayin'
He made it until his kids were grown. He played a huge part in that. He was very proud of his children.

Might have been sepsis. We lost a local high school teacher who was only in his early 40's to it recently. He had a seemingly minor knee injury and basically dropped dead with almost no warning from sepsis.

In any case, way too young for Tek to go.

Thanks for letting us know. I thought he was too young for it to be something that wasn't unusual.

That does sound reasonable. I know little about it, but I've read that it's more common and more dangerous than most of us think.
