I had a good ride today with his club, nice lunch also, found more info about his passing. It seems that Paul was told he had a heart condition, never looked into the care issue, stubborn man. If you can do a century in five hours you must be healthy, sounds good to me! Actually Paul was found on a bike path in Toledo Ohio, he had a broken neck, his family pulled the plug the next morning, Paul had a heart attack, went down and broke his neck. I am greatful that no human being needs to bear the loss of this rider!
Tears Again,

Wow, this of course was all over the news in Toledo. The situation seemed very odd when I heard it and there has been very little in the Toledo Blade since about what happened.
Heather,
Since your friend died of natural causes, doing what he obviously loved, I'd say that is a blessing.
My godfather is under care in a home Florida for Alzheimers. He was a brilliant man, socially graced, who now doesn't even remember me (and I was his "pseudo-son", my godparents didn't children of their own).
I hope that I go as quickly as your friend did.

Rob,
I agree with you completely, hope I am as lucky as Paul, my grandmother passed after years in a nursing home (Alzheimers, she donated her body to science). Did a ride in 2004 with my husband, he has cerebral palsy, a man we were riding with had a heart attack while doing a climb up a long hill. That night the event sponsor stated at dinner that his son was greatful that his dad passed while in the saddle, hope I am blessed like this as well. Thank you to all for your kind words and thoughts, Paul will ride forever in a better place.

My apologies to the driver I was angry at - who didn't exist.
A guy who can do a five-hour century is in top condition. 20 mph for five hours is tough. My best ever was 5:20. Now I can't ride more than a mile without knee pain and I'm in terrible shape. If he can die of a heart attack, it sure makes me feel my morality.
