He had been in somewhat declining health for the last six years since he was assaulted by a drunk guy -hit repeatedly in the head- and had to have emergency brain surgery for the swelling.
After the assault he had to retire and give up his two congregations...he was a minister, like my father.
He never really got back to health after that.
I talked to him yesterday (by phone, he's in North Carolina and no visitors are allowed where he is (was)) but I just didn't have the heart to tell him of RBG's passing. It would've broken his heart even more than it was already.
He mentioned that as bad as he was feeling, he was happy that he had early voted.
I take that as at least a small consolation.
2020 just got even worse.

Edit to add: that talk was virtual ...like almost every human contact these days it seems.
