SpeedFlex27 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) I was sitting in my surgeon's office this morning regarding my upcoming knee replacement on April 19th & I saw a tweet about Bruce Willis passing away. I checked some internet news sources & couldn't find a thing. I guess he hasn't passed away (which is good) but he's in pretty rough shape with Aphasia & Alzheimer's. Poor guy. He's the same age as I am. His birthday is coming up on March 19th. Edited March 17, 2023 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 when I worked in Dauphin a billion years ago (seemingly) we interviewed him a fair bit, as he was a "local". Was always a genuine and passionate supporter of Manitoba. Really big loss, this. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to have an exit plan and be capable of executing it while you still can, unfortunately it's usually the family that prolongs life well beyond it's rational expiration date. It's a bit insane.
