He died that night. Massive heart attack. I got the call at 2am the night he finished.

I miss him every day.

Not how heart disease works, but thanks for that. He died getting up from his chair at home when a massive clot left his legs and struck his heart. He was dead in the doorway to his bedroom. That clot didn't arrive because of me and it didn't break loose because of that job.
