Just passed. Sad day.

Yea, it sucks. He was one of the better ones on the show. I don't know if either of the sons can handle the business as well as he did.

Anyway, they say he stroked out when they were in port offloading a load.

Looked like a good guy.

stroke at 53!!!

Another casualty of the most dangerous job.

High strees, poor health concerns=shorter lifespan

Yes, that's too sad. Wasn't in good health. There was a show some time back when he was coughing up blood. Some history of clots in his family was brought up in that episode.

Pulmonary blood clot

smoking

obesity

recent stroke

Anybody know if it was ischemic or hemorrhagic?
