TigerJ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Under the circumstances, I would guess the most likely cause of death is heart attack or stroke. It should make us cognizant of the fragility of life. Being older, it sure reminds me not to take the time I have left for granted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yuck - as someone who is turning 56 a month from tomorrow - I concur that's too young! Also agree Banks was a good writer - he was one of the best - solid takes w/o any of the stupid trolling too many have fallen into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
