As someone who has to deal with Parkinson’s, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Such a tragedy that Parkinson’s has to suffer the scourge of Hillary Clinton.

(Yes, I said that right)

[Revelation 911]

i lost my buddy back in '10...he had it...he had the deep brain implant and everything else. We'd visit weekly - during the years he asked my wife (who is a geriatric SW) how he will likely "go" - she told him it would likely be a secondary issue, like pneumonia. Years later he bought a used bike - he could hardly stand at this point...he asked me to wrench it and fix it up...I did, all the while telling him riding wasn't a good idea. We were to visit one Tuesday and his wife called, telling us he passed from pneumonia.

Apparently, he had his wife drag him and the bike to the top of the hill at the retirement community...he got on and rode it to the bottom, wiped out and then did it again....breaking several ribs - that was Friday - by monday he was gone. He was a Master Mechanic for the Rolls Royce Club, specializing in pre WW2 Rolls, Bentley and 60's vintage Jags

I suspect I'd have done the same - it is a terrible disease

great guy - I miss him dearly
