He was 78, but he'd rode himself hard and been put up wet a few times... Egotistic as hell, but he go the job done! Can't ask for much more than that!!!
I think you're right, Rabid. Mrs. 45er tells me it was complications from pneumonia. I didn't find an article in a quick search that said anything about that.
Sad, isn't it. He was fairly young too.
ReplyDeleteYes, and yes he was. I believe I heard 78 years old which is pretty young nowadays.

ReplyDeleteMuch the same as I heard, NFO. Reminds me of Patton, at least the ego and getting the job done part.
DeleteStill think he shoulda run for President at some point. 'Bout time we had an actual military commander as our C-in-C.
ReplyDeleteNone of the articles I've read have mentioned what he died of. Call it morbid curiosity....but I'm curious. Anyone know?
