I have often wondered: if we knew that we were going to die early as Mr Lee did at 62, would we live our lives any differently.
Several mornings a week about three to ten guys meet for breakfast at various places, usually in Marin County, California. Most are vets. We have some amazing conversations for old guys: we have enormous experience. Our senior guy is 80 and our youngest, 44. We are WW ll and Vietnam. We talk about politics, women--no subject is off-limits. My wife calls them my "girlfriends." After our talks, I usually summarize our thoughts on the blog.

EVERTBODY DIES
Recently, with the "passing" of James B Lee, (distant relative) a true "Captain of Industry, (Wall street Premier deal maker) the point is reenforced, "Everybody dies." Died at 62. Had shortness of breath on the treadmill. Goes to the hospital, dies. From what little I know, Mr. Lee was an exceptional person. TRULY, NONE OF US ARE PROMISED TOMORROW.
