Terrible news, my condolences to his family and friends.  

Something we should all be aware of... our own mortality.  I will be 50 in June, and I have become increasingly aware of my own mortality. I sit behind a desk for 8-10 hours a day.  That dawned heavily on me about a year and a half ago, when I was weighing in at ~250 with a 46 inch waist.  I joined a boot camp gym in October 2018. Since then I have lost 30 pounds, while increasing muscle mass, and I'm down to a 38 inch waist.  My goal is 200 pounds and 36 inch waist by my 50th birthday.  There isn't much else I can do... I've given up the fast food, the sodas and the beer. I workout 5-6 days per week (45 minute High Intensity Interval Training...HiiT sessions), and I am monitoring what I eat every day.  I'm doing what I can to position myself for a better, healthier life, but as the photo above suggests, our time is limited and we never really know when the bell will toll.  

To my fellow Grenadiers, if you haven't already made some health changes in life, it is never too late to start!!!  Small diet modifications, and a small increase in physical activity will have immediate effects!!!  Since starting this program, I am off most meds, my HDL, LDL and triglycerides are all in the 'green' and my blood sugar is down from borderline diabetic to a very manageable number.  If this gives me even a few more months on my clock, it will be well worth the effort, and I implore you to do something similar to increase your health and improve your quality of life  (and so that we can continue to push cardboard counters around)!!!
