Really sick, actually. It didn't come as a shock to anyone. He had some type of bone cancer that he'd been battling for a couple years. He entered stage 4 last year, I believe. His health has been deteriorating since then.
There was an incident at a hospital where he had broken his arm, and in the process of stabilizing it, and moving him to another bed, the doctor's accidently broke his other arm. That's how frail he was.
He hadn't eaten anything the past few days. Just some Italian ice. We got the phone call last night that he passed away.
It was expected, but that doesn't provide much comfort.
