Brother-in-law passed away last night. He lived in Colorado and was a Vietnam era veteran suffering from his worst fear, Dementia/Alzheimer's disease. The last several months he had been cared for in a Assisted Living Facility. We were humbled when told two other resident veterans took it upon themselves to stand guard at his door for about 2 hours until the funeral home arrived to take his body.
We both have lost family members to this horrible disease and have others currently living with it.
RIP Dave Hansen
