Denis McKeon died this week. Below is pasted a FB posting from his wife:

Denis had a really sore back, April 1, he took a fall and we visited urgent care. They did an xray and saw "anomalies" on his spine. It was matastisized prostate cancer which had spread to his bones. They did some amazing, quick radiation work and were able to relieve the polup impacting his spinal column. We've been focused on this since then. He had his first chemo on Thursday last week, on Friday he reported doing "great". He was able to walk around easily, we went to the grocery and ran errends. Things were looking up!
Saturday, he was super lethargic and nausus, not too suprising but concerning. He took a fall early Sunday morning, passed out, I had to do CPR. Called 911 and the parametics were at my door in under 10 minutes, they worked on him and then took him to hospital. Sunday he was not well, and they did surgery to remove his colon, by monday, he was only somewhat responsive. I stayed the night and early Tuesday morning he passed.
