So sorry for your loss. This is what killed my Uncle George 30? 40? years after he was in the Navy during WWII. They’re fairly certain that’s where his exposure came from.

Damn, **Nava**. That’s some scary family history.

Shrug, it’s just more specific than other family histories. It’s not as if my great-grandparents would have still been around, not at this date (I hope!).
