Call from Mary Jordan early. Carl died at 6:00 AM – Mary & I went down about 3 – Took a Kroger raspberry pie. Then we went out to dinner.
He had a painful death as uremic poisoning ravaged him. Had been in Community Nursing Center after being in hospital several days. But when Mary found him tied down & bed soaked she brought him home & family helped her. He refused an operation to alleviate pain. Was 88.
