Me too! The only thing they've said so far is "natural causes", but they mentioned a nurse was present. I can't help wondering if he had been hospitalized for a while, or was a nurse living with him in his home for some reason?

That was one talented man. He will certainly be missed.

All this...he will definitely be missed.

Am I the only one surprised to learn he was living in El Paso? I don't think I would have guessed that with 100 attempts...
