He worked and all, took care of his wife and helped financially.
But he just couldn't stop drinking. I wish he had taken better care of himself. He helped and gave kind advice to everyone but himself.

He was the sweetest person that you'd ever want to meet. I still wish that he was still around! We nicknamed him the Grillmaster because he always loved to cookout! His specialty was deep-fried turkey.
Hi Daquan my pleasure...

my brother loves to do the deep fried turkey thing...YUM...well bless your brothers, heart he went the extra mile the only way he knew how...but he did that...and even so it is commendable. I understand the alcohol disease..I am still dealing with it and always will..had 13 full years sobriety and dropped the ball for a little over a year...depressing blowing sobriety after such a long haul...ya I knew it too was decaying my insides and kept my sugar at soring figures...boy could I feel the affects...didnt care...had to practically become horizontal before I gave it up again...its crazy isnt it? alcohol is cunning and baffling just like they say...rapes your soul and hooks you for a lifetime...I am back on my feet...with high hopes to make it till the end without the stuff...just wish one could do the same with diabetes...just rid yourself of it. One doctor told me if I went back down to 116 I probably would not have diabetes...I said ya but I did not want to look as though I am dying on top of living...that is way to small and I will never see that again, although I manage my weight accordingly..
