I’ll bet “Suddenly Unexpectedly Cause Unknown” is your favorite tune to whistle when you’re walking past the graveyard.
Yeah. He died from a case of the suddenlies.
Left unexplained is why someone who lived his whole life in northeast New Jersey, in the NYC metro area, would be a diehard Red Sox fan.
Thanks! I appreciate that.
