Byron, sorry for your loss. Keep in mind that family history is only a small part.

Byron,
Genetics, lifestyle, they can all have effects. Then again you could be hit by a drunk driver . Live today like you mean it. (Judging from some of your biking days pics, I'm guessing you don't need that advice.) Be well Les

My Dad at 61,
My Gdad -his Dad at 86 Gma 87 Clean living guys in generally good health- I am sure there is genetics involved somewhere-but in the end there still is a whole lot of randomness in the whole adventure. Sorry for your loss -hang with the good parts and dump the rest. Mflo
