I'm not sure it was specifically lung cancer, and it's kind of a sore spot so I'm not really keen on asking around about it. It was a bit of a late diagnosis and had moved to his brain/lungs. He lived for about a year after diagnosis and treatment, but it just breaks my heart when I think about the physical decline that preceded his death.

I wish TJ and his family well.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
