God be with you and your family. Awful to hear, but glad that he is doing well. He deserves some peace after all of his years of honorable service to our country.
Good to hear he's doing okay. The 52 year old me thinks 49 is way too young for that. My dad also had heart issues in his early 50's, even though his cholesterol was very low and he was in pretty good physical shape. Good advice for everyone to keep on top of possible heart disease.
