Pancreatic cancer? Reminds me of James Earl Jones in Clear and Present Danger. Normally I would just be "meh, an old guy died" but it sucks to have to go out like that. Quick, fast, and in a hurry with a smile on my face. That's how I want to go.

I didn't his death. I also never heard of him before. And I wouldn't normally get emo over an old dude dying but, like I said, that's a terrible way to go. Besides, I'm not "officially" a janitor although I do feel like one from time to time.
