Looks like my uncle Helmut may pass sometime after midnight.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Colonel in the US Army, and lived in Huntsville, AL, then Tennessee, he was just taken off life-support after being pumped with morphine (seriously). He's 70, six years younger than my dad, his brother. He and my dad married sisters, with Helmut divorcing and my mom passed at the age of 39 in '81.

No need to give condolences, for such is life, just like probably soon little brother'll be dead due to him coughing up foul-smelling white matter from his lungs(?) on a regular basis, chances are brought on via doing stuff that'll make Dank say, "No way would I do that shit, let alone that amount."

Overall, it's been a long and strange day.

Remember: Tomorrow's not promised.

I think my uncle lied to me about being a colonel. Also, no mention of my father, his brother, Bruno Kucinskas.

Can't believe when I lived in Harvest, AL,--home destroyed during last tornado there--cousin Shirley lived basically the next town north on the Tennessee border. In fact, I never met cousin Shirley. I wonder what she looks like.

We are all fine, and nary a tear was shed, except by my middle sister who's dealing with major issues in her head, but not due to him being a bad guy or anything, just not close. I think she may lose it though when little brother kicks the bucket.

Speaking of death, I guess I better check on my suicide thread to see if I need to update the OP.

Looks Greek, but it's Lithuanian. My dad was born there, growing up in Belgium, working in a coal mine after serving time in a reform school for stealing barn wood at night a stove off some porch.
