left field Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 78 years old ... at his deer camp ... in the outhouse ... sitting down. I was talking with the volunteer fire dept who pulled him out and apparently this is a common thing - the straining, not the outhouse. If you have to go, I guess there are less poetic ways to do it.

RIP Ritchie. Yes, it is not uncommon that people with that significant CV disease die from exertion/straining. Dragging a deer and shoveling snow are two more. left field 1
left field Posted December 18, 2022 Author Posted December 18, 2022 He was a heavy smoker and in pretty rough shape. I passed him on the road two days earlier but didn't have the time to stop and say hi. Feel a little badly about that. Vietnam vet, retired Port Authority cop, grandfather. grampy 1 My Instagram
